I think we're long past the point where anything Yahoo-related had any relevance to anyone but Yahoo employees, its board of directors, and its shareholders.

I don't think it's had much relevance for its shareholders for quite some time; I don't believe Yahoo shares have existed since 31 Oct 2016.

Loved downloading songs(and other media) from USENET with the funky RAR encoder, where if you missed like #23 out of 55 total, you were hosed!

Although many of us are already aware of it...
I recommend you to read the book "Code Zero" by Marc Elsberg. (I just read it this weekend)
I found the thriller story good and even for the non techies might be interesting. As it explains a lot of the virtual world giants, data / privacy and so on, but without getting to too technical, so they can follow it up.

It's not a theory, it's the law (says one of my coworker's shirt...)

Then you better arrest Michael Jordan. (Couldn't think of a more recent reference.)
