Re: Yahoo! Spam alert...
2002-04-12 by buechlerjoe
I just changed all my preferences to "No", and also checked "do not
contact me by mail" and "do not contact me by telephone".
I have to say, though, that any company that adopts an "opt out"
approach to privacy, instead of an "opt in" approach, is extremely
suspect in my book. I'm very unconfortable about being registered
with Yahoo any more. If the forum moves, I'll follow it. If it doesn't
move, I'll consider initiating a new one, possibly on a non-commercial
server such as LUSENET.
