Yahoo is a strange duck in my experience. I have seen sites get added
fairly quickly and then seen sites take over a month or more. I have
seen them put the same site in 4 categories and then limit another site
to just one category.

Honestly, the ONLY people Yahoo needs to keep happy are the ones who
search them and the ones who run ads with them. The rest of us can go
take a flying leap.

On the other hand, after trying to get a URL changed (site moved) like
three times, I finally hunted through their site for a better way.
Can't recall it now, but within two weeks the URL had been changed and
I had a personal reply.

I honestly think their biggest problem is inconsistency.
