Paying YaHoO! for Inclusion in Their Search Directory

I am curious to know how many people actually paid the $299 YaHoO! directory listing fee in the past to be included in their search.
If anyone did pay the money to YaHoO! to be included, what are your feelings about forking out the $299 listing fee for your site to be included?
Was it worth the money and did you experience a potential increase in site traffic after paying?
