Subject: Concerning the web pages

How can you expect any one trying to talk online to prove they have a credit card.

You can't just assume that every adult has one. Some families really can not afford a credit card bill. What I am trying to say is I am trying to be able to talk on Yahoo's web pages and chat rooms with some of my friends that already have Yahoo. But I can't because Yahoo is making kinda hard to do so. I made the mistake of putting my oldest son's birthdate instead of mine and just because I did so they believe I am a child. I told them my mistake and I corrected it but they won't except that and I even continued telling them my husband and I do not own a credit card at all. And that is the honest truth. And for them to continue asking for me to give a credit card # is stupid, because how many times do I have to tell them I dont have one. All I want to do is talk to some of my friends who have Yahoo. So if you can by any chance come up with another way for adults like to verify that they are adult when ask or even if they made a mistake like I did I would appreciate it.
