A friend of mine from another mailing list passed this along and sure engouh, the Marketing Preferences for my ID had indeed been set as descibed below. You might want to take a few minutes and check your Yahoo! account. Apparently this info is circulating amongst a few Yahoo! Groups so I apologize in advance if you've already seen it. Jon Tip: if you ever need to register a complaint to Yahoo! regarding a malfunctioning feature - go to the HELP section, locate the related Topic via the index, and use the NO button on the prompt for 'Was this information useful?'- you'll be presented with a generic problem report form to submit. They may not acknoweldge your complaint - but at least someone somewhere will have an inbox eventually fill up and they'll have to take notice of THAT ha haha ;-P > QUOTE: > ====== > I've just been alerted by a friend that Yahoo have just made a sneaky > change to everybody's 'Marketing Preferences', the result of which > will be a load of spam.
