The Mellotron Group

2 questions
1)If there any other NZ residents on either list, do
you think those are mellotron flutes on the new "Light
and Tasty" advert? Or are they real flutes mimicing
the arrangement on "Strawberry Fields"?

2)Are we all getting pop up cat avderts or just thse
of us possesed by cats? Is Yahoo reading our mail like
Google?

you must be reading via web group access or via webmail.

tip: you may be able to block some popups via your
browser - as a last resort you can try your "hosts"
file, but it's for the more advanced user, as you can
really screw it up and block your own internet access.
i highly recommend firefox as your browser - it blocks
at least 90% of the popups i encounter, and the remaining
i kill via the "hosts" file.

are you familiar with a "hosts" file?
it's where you computer looks FIRST for any network IP address.

it can be used to fool your computer into thinking that it's
actually another one [a bunch of them if so desired...].

you need to first determine if they are being served from
an "outside" adverting provider [like doubleclick, etc...]
you obviously do NOT want to block yahoo!
too much technical babble to go through here...
you can contact me off-list if you want.
