Hmmm.

If I told them my alias was Kerry J. Carmichael but I had lost all the verification information and passwords, but please remove all my messages, and they did, would you be happy?

I think their position is eminently reasonable. People who set up so many aliases that they can't remember the passwords, and who give false information in signing up, deserve not to be able to control their accounts.

It was funny
or
Was it ridiculous ?

Hello Kerry.
I hope you are keeping well.

I thought that it was funny that anyone would even write such a letter. The refusal of Yahoo to delete anonymous unmaintained accounts and their messages, for which the password has been lost and no correct registration information is known, is completely correct in my opinion. They even pointed out that if the poster "controlled" the account there was no problem in yanking the stuff. They further pointed out that they would remove any material with the proper paperwork
What I found funny was that someone would write a letter to Yahoo asking them to do that.

Dear SI
I have here an account that I would like you to delete, please delete all the posts I made as this poster as well. I don't know the password or any of the details so I am unable to access the account and delete the posts myself in any way but I assure you that I made all of them.
Here is the account info.
