We appreciate your time in reviewing this. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any problems locating the links.

The link in question is on one of several extremely critical posts I've made about Yahoo and MelbourneIT's unethical business practices. MelbourneIT provides Yahoo's horrific domain registration services.

It would serve them right if you sent back a chipper reply about how you've updated the link metadata or whatever they think they can BS you about to comply with current search engine guidelines and thanking them so much for bringing that to your attention. After all, you want to be sure that all search engines properly index those links and references!

What complete toads.

What's sad/funny about it is that they're currently having a huge PR meltdown, and I'm guessing that this is part of how they're responding to it. Good work, guys. Good work.
