Following up on No “ALLAH” @ Yahoo!; The Register reports a small step in the direction of common sense:
Yahoo! has reversed its decision to stop people registering Yahoo! IDs which include the letters "allah".
The Reg was contacted yesterday by a reader - Ed Callahan - who was having trouble registering his mum - Linda Callahan - for a Verizon email address - provided through a Yahoo! portal.
But Yahoo! got in touch with us this morning to say it is now accepting Yahoo! identities which contain the letters "allah". The Callahans will be overjoyed.
