Quackwatch Blocked ?!
Question: For the last few days, I haven't been able to post citations from quackwatch.com. All attempts come back with "Error 999".
It appears Yahoo has blocked the website quackwatch.com based on someone reporting it as a spam site. This is mischievous. Quackwatch is of course a legitimate clearinghouse of information about medical quackery. Apparently quacks don't want me or others citing Quackwatch on AltMed.
Can others post references to Quackwatch, or am I the only one blocked?
Can Yahoo's decision be reversed if this is in fact what happened?

Testing.
Well I'm getting 999 errors for quackwatch dot org and also noticing that it gives errors if I just put it in text, not linking to it.
Though quackwatch.com seems fine.
