IMPORTANT notice from Yahoo by list owner

Please read the following notice to prevent your e-mail boxes from
being seriously SPAMed with tons of advertising.

The following is only applicable to those list members who have
Yahoo IDs. I checked and they HAD changed all my settings!!!

You may remember when you signed up for a Yahoo ID and were asked by
them if you wished to receive any "Special Offers & Marketing
Communications." Yahoo recently revised their privacy policy. As a
result, and regardless if you chose to receive any of these "Special
Offers" or not when you signed up for your Yahoo ID, Yahoo have set
every single person who has a Yahoo ID (and those that have more than
one) to "Yes" in these preferences. This means that you may well be
inundated with even more junk mail than you are already receiving.

In order to change your settings back to whatever you had them at
before, you will need to log in to your account and physically change
them.

Login at the following URL - you will be prompted for your Yahoo ID
and password: http://edit.my.yahoo.com/config/eval_profile

The middle segment within the Member Information (email addresses)
section has a link to: Edit your marketing references. Click on this
link and you will see all of your settings were changed to "Yes."
Meaning of course that you will receive all kinds of "offers" from
Yahoo and their "partners."

Unless you wish to receive even more junk mail than you are already
getting, you may wish to go through the entire page and choose
whether to receive such notices. Also, right at the bottom of the
page are other ways you could be notified - by phone or postal mail.
Unless you wish to receive unsolicited phone calls and paper junk
mail, you will need to change these settings to "No" also.

Once you have finished your selections, make sure you click on the
Save Changes button right at the bottom of the page.

Yahoo is supposedly sending out notices to all its users regarding
this particular change. However, it is estimated it will take
several weeks for everyone to receive their notification. In the
meantime ... a considerable amount of marketing mail could be making
its way to everyone's mail boxes.
