Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Ed....I say ISSUE THE ULTIMATUM!!!  Wasn't Yahoo one
of  the first who touted a spam block?  And now all we
are getting hit with is porno spam...and check this
out...I am CONVINCED that Yahoo is selling our email
addresses to these scum sites.  I have AD AWARE and
have removed ALL spy ware plus I have deleted all my
cookies, except my DTX cookie...and you should see my
mailbox-it's full of Viagara ads, porno ads and the
like...I am really disgusted, I have almost 100
filters on my email program...I am ready to dump the
PC and get a Mac-but I have so much $$ tied up in this
PC.
I am not worried about the DTX group interest yet...I
stated days ago that I think members are enjoying the
summer, and once fall and winter come-we all will be
forced inside, and will have time for our DTX.  I am
also wondering WHAT THE HECK happened to Yamaha's new
DTX module that was supposed to come out Summer
NAMM...any word on that?  Hope all is well with you
and the family.
