Yahoo! Spam alert...
2002-04-12 by Florian Anwander
Hi, this mail came over in the nord_modular group on Yahoo. I think for this we should leave yahoo and try to find another place to do this maillist from. The best thing would be an own server. What about the others? Florian

They added a bunch of new advertising related fields to everyone's Account Information and opted everyone in. To get to these, you need to go into your Account Information and in the email address section there's a button to click that says "Edit your marketing preferences." All the new fields are set to "Yes" by default. Also, there are two check boxes at the bottom of the page that you must check unless you want Yahoo to provide you with phone solicitation and junk snail mail. Someone on another Yahoo Group pointed this out to me. Yahoo sent out email about this with the subject "Message from Yahoo! about changes to our Privacy Policy and your Marketing Preferences". But most users don't read Yahoo system messages. Try to spread this information around to the other groups you belong to - unless it's a group whose members you don't particularly like :) To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to: nord_modular-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com Your use of Yahoo!
