Victory......If i may call it.

Finally, yahoo apologized!!! or ....so they say here. "Yahoo Apologizes to Blogger".

The company planned to post a statement on its Malayalam Web site later Thursday, the spokeswoman said, which reads, in part:

"Yahoo respects the blogging community and the etiquette followed by bloggers. We regret any inconvenience caused by the inadvertent posting of the recipe without attribution."

The content is provided to Yahoo with the understanding that Webdunia holds all necessary rights to its use, the company said.

so......, they have planned to post. Since i dont understand the language, i really don't know whether they have posted it or not.

But if they did, Then thats a victory for us, and a reason to celebrate this weekend.
