There's a way to tell them to take you off their spam lists. They have
all my e-mail addresses, and aside from possibly having my yahoo address
itself getting spammed (and I don't use it for anything) I'm not getting
crap from them.
They changed it from opt-in to opt-out awhile ago, and I took the action
then.
OK, let's see if I can figure it out again....
Go to Yahoo, sign in, go to Account Info, give your password; you'll be at
a page with whatever info you gave them. Click on Marketing Preferences
and start setting everything to No.
