Yahoo Changes Title Of Your Site

Or at least my site...

When I Search for my name on yahoo.com:
http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=tadeusz+szewczyk
I get my homepage as result #5
but the title of my homepage is "tadeusz szewczyk" in the Yahoo search results whereas in reality my page has a completely different title.

Did you experience this too?

I guess that Yahoo changes the title based on the link texts linking to a site.

================================
Thanks everyone for pointing out the problem with lowercase titles and titles based on anchor text.

It turns out that this was an error from recent updates and we will be rolling out a fix very shortly. Once again, thank you for the feedback and keep it coming

Sincerely
Priyank
