One of the things I really hate about Yahoo! is the way that, as they get
bigger, they get slimier. I used to really like Yahoo!, and owned stock
in them for awhile... not any more! I'm forwarding some info that I
gleaned from one of the other Yahoo! groups I'm on. Arrgh, this just
gets my goat! Yahoo, smahoo!


Do you all remember when Yahoo went down for a few days? Well,
here's one of the changes they implemented. Ain't that just so
sweet, they signed us all up for lots of Spam. NOT!

∗∗∗

Yahoo has added a "marketing" area to the account set up area of
groups. When you go into it you will see that they have set you to
"YES" on everything. I highly advise everyone to go in and change
it.

When you're logged in at Yahoogroups, click on 'Account Info' on the
top right corner of the screen. Enter your password when prompted,
then below the listing of your email addresses, you'll see a link
for "Edit Your Marketing Preferences", click on that. You'll see it's
set to YES (please send me spam) on every option. Set them all to
NO. Don't forget the two towards the bottom of the page about phone
and snail mail spam. Click the button to save it.

Do it now, and save your mailbox from additional spam.
It'll only take a minute.
Best,
