“Friends,

Yahoo has just made a sneaky change to everybody's 'Marketing
Preferences', the result of which will be a load of spam from Yahoo
and their affiliates. To change them back, here's what you need to do.

Go to http://www.yahoogroups.com/ and login to your Yahoo account. Choose "My Groups" (right side of screen) after logged in. Then choose "Account Info" at the top right of your screen. Input your password to get into your Account Info page. Your Yahoo ID card comes up. Click on 'Edit your Marketing Preferences' about halfway down the page. Notice that all your boxes now say "yes" instead of "no" If so, change them all back to "no" and BE SURE TO READ ALL THE WAY TO THE END OF THE PAGE as there are more on the page below! Input the e-mail address to send any mail to. Say "no" if you don't want to get "deals" by snail mail or phone either. CLICK TO SAVE CHANGES. Click on "Finished" to save final changes.”

“Thanks!”

“Pantscandy,

Thanks a ton! I've noticed over the past few days I've been getting more and more crap in my e-mail. I hope this takes care of the problem.”

“Thanks for the heads up!”

“You get the Good Samaratian Award for this week Billy boy......”

“thanks!!!!”

“Unwanted advertising = hands of Satan.

Thanks, I just changed mine.”

“Thank you for the instructions Mr. Pantscandy Sir! That's what I get for being www.incomunicado for a couple of weeks, an inbox full of crap!!!”

“Wow! Thanks a lot. No wonder I've been getting spammed at work!! What a bunch of a-holes!”

“How did you come to figure that out? I appreciate people like yourself. I just live with the frustration until someone saves me.

Thanks!”

“But if you have a Yahoo mail account that you have set up for POP3 access you have to leave them as Yes or you'll lose that POP3. Of course, unless you fork over some dough, you're going to lose that POP3 access on April 24 anyway.”

“why skully, it's you! where have you been all my life? :-)

HEY! how come i didn't get any spam?? oh yeah, i guess maybe i shouldn't complain...”

“Hi lyra, how's it going?

I didn't really get spammed all that bad, just 2 items. But it was 2 more than I normally get. And because they were from Yahoo they went into my inbox instead of my bulk mail folder. Jerks.”

“I didn't get any spam from yahoo - I figure its cause the email address I left was my hotmail account - they probably don't bother or hotmail filters out yahoo spam”

“i'm good! spring feverish, but good...”
