Please take a minute to go sign the Yahoo accessibility petition. When signing up for Yahoo groups and other services on Yahoo uses a visual captia system with no accessibility for the blind. Instead you are forced to either find sighted help or leave your phone number in hopes that Yahoo will contact you and assist you in getting your service setup. This is not a option, Yahoo needs to give the blind equal access to Yahoo services by using an audio captia for the blind users that want to get Yahoo services.
