Yahoo! has changed their privacy policy and marketing rules. If you have a Yahoo! account you may want to re-set your marketing preferences ASAP. Yahoo! changed their policy and signed everyone up for ALL of their email lists by default. There are over a dozen lists, as well as selections for PHONE and snail mail contact. You can change these here: http://edit.my.yahoo.com/config/eval_profile Click on that link and log in. Then look in the middle of the page in the email address section. There is a link called "Edit your marketing preferences". Click on this. You will see about a dozen Yahoo! mailing lists, as well as selections for outside mailing lists, phone, and snail mail. By default- these are all set to YES. They are supposedly sending out messages to everyone, but are saying it may take several weeks. In the meantime, I think they can release your contact information to others in accordance with their changed policy. ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
