>I'd hate to be the Yahoo spokesperson assigned to explain that one to the world...

Yahoo wasn't involved: no big company gets involved with counting proxies. They outsource it, for very good reasons (which ANYONE can understand at times like this.)

The outsourcing company has already explained the problem (it was one of those dumb-programmer mistakes most every programmer you know has made multiple times.) Yahoo will be getting the apology, not giving it.
