Yahoo is at it again . . With no permission
Hi Folks,
I'm new to the club, Have been messing about in boats for many years,
have liked Bolgers designs since the late sixties when I got a small
book of his stuff.
Here's something that's completely off topic but I ran into it this
AM.
In the spirit of killing spam and seeing what Yahoo is NOT doing
about it . . .Yahoo has signed everyone up for spam without your
permission. Yep without your permission or knowledge.
This is a copy of a post . . . . . . .

Yahoo has added a new "Marketing Preferences" section to everyone's
Yahoo account -- and set ALL the defaults so that you get spam.
To fix this invasive scheme, go into "Account Info/My account",
it's under your email info -- click that new "Marketing" link, and
set all the choices to no (unless, of course, you WANT spam).
There are two that are easy to miss, for snail-mail and
phone advertising, they're spaced WAY down from the others at the
bottom of that Marketing page. Hit "Finished" to save your
changes, both on the Marketing page and when you're returned to the
main Account page.
