well I never had any problems before on any domain, so this is new to me... It really does not matter that much if they get it, but I like this name and wanted to make it a blog but now this.
Just be glad you received the emails before the website became established.
I am looking to purchase websites. View my DNF thread HERE

Looks like potential trouble, though. Even if it comes to dispute and you win
via UDRP (at least theoretically), Yahoo can also use ACPA to try wearing you
down due to legal costs.
And your posting the name here and how much you made from it (if I read it
right) might not make it any easier.
But I'm just playing devil's advocate here.
Vidi, Vici, Veni!

Sounds foolish to me ... no sense in arguing over a domain that you dont intend on making any money on with a huge player like Yahoo.
OK case settled I will give them the name soon, but they allow me to use another name as long as it does not include Yahoo in the string, and they will be paying me for the name. That is all I'm saying about it, and my new name will be something else instead.
Edit: they just called and said YPNBlog will not work either so now I have to reg a new one!
