Digital BW, The Print

Martin and Antonis,

What a nice group of people we have assembled here in this 
group, sharing valuable information that we all seem to be 
learning from. Also, what a shame it's going to be to see 
valuable people depart the group due to noticeably increased 
amount of SPAM appearing in mailboxes, and increasingly 
annoying Yahoo ad practices.

I have tried to do my part by searching through the mysterious, 
hard to find Yahoo sections related to Spam deterrence. Yahoo 
is a master at being hard to contact. I did find one section about 
"harvesting of email addresses" and they clearly warn that they 
cannot prevent people/companies from harvesting addresses. 
This is probably where the Spam increase is coming from.

I know Tom McConnell (sp?) has researched this too. I guess no 
suitable alternative has been found.

I am just raising this question again because I want to continue 
to be a part of this group, yet at some point, I'm going to abandon 
Yahoo as my home page portal, and all of their groups, just out 
of principle alone. I know advertising must support these 
vehicles, but the way they do it is, to me, increasingly 
unacceptable and sleazy.

I will continue to search for alternatives.
