Next time you post to a newsgroup, read the FAQs and
Welcome texts.  See all the references in my signature.

You will find that job postings are not welcome in this
newsgroup.

What for?  Retaliate?  Do you have more accounts to be yanked?
Settle your dispute with Yahoo, they are the ones who didn't give
you a reason, allegedly.

Hey, that is really cool.  I tend to think of Yahoo as a bunch of
sleazy yahoos, but my estimation of them has just risen a few
points.

I guess if anybody who has a Yahoo email address misbehaves on the 'net
in general (Usenet included), it reflects poorly on Yahoo.  But you should
ask them to know for sure.
