'bit of community service - Use Yahoo?
If you use Yahoo and have an account there, please check your marketing preferences. They have recently turned many of them to "enroll." :-(
If you have a Yahoo account, go to My Yahoo then:
�Select Account Info at the top right
�You may need to type in your password
�Select "Edit your marketing preferences" mid-way down the page
�Enroll in what you want. Chances are, 100% of them are set to YES.
Have a Hoppy Easter everyone!

Yes, thanks for the heads up. I just checked my settings and, sure enough, 100% of them were checked as 'enroll.'

First, Yahoo decides to start charging for POP3 access and auto-email forwarding and now this "change" to the privacy policy. Not that I begrudge them for charging for certain email services, but the timing of these two events makes me smell trouble at Yahoo! Stupidly desperate trouble at that.

Never underestimate the sleaziness of advertising, especially of the email variety. Their tenticles reach everywhere

I was just going to say the same thing. I am a little mad about the POP3 being turned off, but I guess that just means it is time to stop using my Yahoo account. Yahoo really probably didn't like P0P3. They lost quite a bit of money because people like me never saw ads because I used outlook and though they said they would send stuff, they never did. I really liked their service, but there are others.
