Through some "creative" methods, I've figured 

out how to verify Yahoo Japan accounts for 

bidding.  I'm more than willing to share this 

information with people, but because this is 

a sensitive issue and I do not wish to start 

a flame war (or even a new thread) please 

email me for directions.  If you have 

anything negative to stay to me about this, 

Please, Please do NOT post it on this forum.  

I am just trying to help other responsible 

bidders out (and they would've figured it out 

for themselves sooner or later anyway)
