FYI: Yahoo Mail Account info Alert. (fwd)

I know a lot of y'all use Yahoo Mail.... FYI to those who use Yahoo Mail. March 29 - Tired of spam you're getting at your free Yahoo! e-mail account? Get ready for more. Tucked inside a privacy policy change the company made this week was notice that more Yahoo! e-mail marketing offers were coming "even if users had formerly indicated they were unwanted. YAHOO! GRANTED ITSELF PERMISSION to spam by creating a new "marketing preferences" page that lets users pick "yes or no" to specific categories of marketing pitches. The problem is, Yahoo! set every users' option to "yes" - even if long ago, they indicated they never wanted any Yahoo! spam. Users who don't want marketing offers from Yahoo have 60 days to do the following: Visit the user profile preferences page at http://edit.my.yahoo.com/config/eval_profile select "Edit your marketing preferences" from within the Member Information section; and individually change selections in a series of marketing categories from "yes" to "no." In e-mail marketing lingo, the process is known as "opt-out." But even performing that slightly cumbersome operation is no guarantee that Yahoo! marketing offers won't come, since the firm reserves the right to add marketing categories at any time. "I'd suggest re-checking periodically," writes another mailing list poster.
