OT: Yahoo! Spam

2002-04-01 by jondl_2000

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.

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
