It looks to me like someone is screwing with the Yahoo database.

My profile listed my display name as "John Kagan", but it was showing up in the membership lists as "Rock". This happened once before, with the same name change.

It looks like Gary has the same problem. His display name changed to "I guess"

I fixed it by changing my display name to something else and then back again - in case this happens to anyone else.
