got this from the mogwai list...

-----
culled from Tom Roche on the Peel list:


Just learned that Yahoogroups added a "marketing" area to everyone's
account.

They set up the default they to say "yes" which means one must
"opt-out" if you don't want to receive e-mail advertising offers, etc.
In other words, they set everyone up to receive spam.

I thought it would be more 'official' if I sent it to you,
and you in turn sent it to the List.

If one doesn't want spam and advertising offers:
the directions to change are that one must change all preferences to
"NO" so you won't receive their advertising.

They are supposedly sending out messages to everyone, but are saying
it may
take several weeks. In the meantime, they can happily release your
contact
information to others in accordance with their changed policy.


Go to the Yahoogroups page: http://www.groups.yahoo.com .

Click on Account Info on the top right corner of the screen.
Enter your password when prompted, then below the listing of your
email addresses, click on the link  "Edit Marketing Preferences."
It is set to Yes (which really means,  please send me spam) on every
option.
Set them all to No, if you don't want unwanted mail,
and, note that there are two more towards the
bottom of the page about phone and snail mail spam.
Lastly, click the button to save it.
