No one is "really" ever a Yahoo! expert unless you truly work for Yahoo! and even then, some of the Yahoo! workers probably don't know what they heck they are doing.
And Dermot has proven to know enough about Yahoo! to be part of the Yahoo! staff here, so his words count for something.

Of course booting is a problem in Yahoo! Messenger, or else i'd never hear anyone complain about getting booted!

Trust me, if someone wants to boot you badly enough, they will eventually boot you. It doesn't really matter if you are using a chat client or disable all PM's except friends in messenger. Booters don't all use flooding methods, some just send side packets to kick you off.
Here at BigBlueBall we of course
offer suggestions on how to reduce your chances of getting booted, but there is no true way to prevent this because as i stated, and will always state: If someone really wants to boot you (and they know how), they will do it....
As a side note: Lets keep this thread friendly because it seems to be going the wrong way.
