When it comes to policies and procedures, there’s wrong, right and just plain common sense. The latter needs to be exercised here, IMO, but Yahoo has a history of stupid policies and procedures (the infamous $600 “maybe we’ll list you” listing fee comes to mind).

The Marine, Justin Ellsworth, 20, was killed in November by a roadside bomb in Falluja while assisting civilian evacuations before the large-scale military offensive against insurgents in the city, according to a report in the Detroit Free Press. But when Ellsworth’s father John tried to recover his e-mail account, he was barred due to Yahoo’s policy of not giving e-mail passwords to anyone besides the account holder.

It’s Christmas time for pete’s sake, Yahoo should just give Justin’s father access to thier KIA son’s email. Who are they protecting by not giving his father access? Or am I just all wrong on this and Yahoo should stick by their policy?

Did this post make you go hmm?
