Can you make an Yahoo ID, that contains the word "network"? For instance, can you make an ID called okiwyytnetwork? If no, why not? Is that specified somewhere? What is the full list of forbidden words? Why does "correct" okiwyytnetwork, into okiwyytnetwok ?

Maybe someone else already has that same screenname? Have you checked any other screenname with the term network in it?

I couldn't make ANY screenname with the word network in it. Could you?
More than that, I tried "networkxxx" where xxx is a random number, of 14 digits, generated by a program.
Tried with 20 different random numbers.
Guess what? "network" is 7 letters, the maximum available length is 32. A random number of 32-7 = 25 doesn't work either.
networknqHOojMO0E6Rj3rm2lvUDvnAh is not available ... It's not forbidden, just not available :) It is highly improbable that someone used all those weird combinations.

Where is that TOS? Because the one I've seen did not mention anything about it.
