Re: OT - Yahoo Adv.

Right on!

I am definitely an EX-YAHOO FAN. I'm playing around in other lists to 
see how they run and I can tell you, Yahoo is the worst. I've sent 
emails to a couple of list managers suggesting they email Antonis and 
try to lure him away from Yahoo... Antonis, have they reached you?

The popup + click through is so obnoxious I can't deal with it.

I've installed Symantec Internet Security software and turned on ad 
blocking and also use a popup ad filter. Between the 2 of them they 
seem to stop about 75% of the images at least... Yahoo is so 
obnoxious you still get a blank page to click through, but at least 
you miss most of the dumb yahoo ads and the page loads faster.
