Interesting... VEEERY interesting.

It may be worth e-mailing whoSPLATyahoo.com to see what's up, but I think it may be nothing. Looking at http://profiles.yahoo.com/who shows that the account hasn't been updated since 1996. Seems just a bit too old.

I dropped an email to whoSPLATyahoo.com and got back a no-such-account message. However, there IS such an account on Yahoo Messenger. Myself and CrashExL from chat have both attempted to add this person to a contact list, but they seem to be offline. More if they ever come on...

In order to get that username, it would have required registering with Yahoo a very long time ago. 1996 sounds about right.

Craziness. I've also added the name to my list on Messenger.

It's not an email address. When you get a yahoo account you can create profiles for Y msger. It looks like a yahoo mail address but you can't receive mail there. You can however get instant msgs. I've had who on my buddy list since we found this but has yet to come online or respond to my offline msges.
