Information Collection and Use Practices
* In addition to registration information, Yahoo! allows you to
enter address and contact information into Yahoo! Address Book that is
stored on your behalf.
* Yahoo! does not use any information stored in your Yahoo!
Address Book for any marketing or commercial purpose.
Now, there may be/are other issues with using Yahoo! for this.
Yahoo! is a quick & dirty solution of course. Solve 90% of the
problem with 10% of the work :-)
