OT/Abuse on Yahoo messenger

>The chances are, this isn't an individual, but some sort of spam generator.<

I don't know much about Yahoo Messenger either, Léna, so I don't understand how

it would function as a spam generator. All I get is a notice that some stranger

wants to chat. Very insistently!!

>So sorry. Nobody needs this kind of harassment.<

So true. ;-D

>I began getting noticeable amounts of spam: first, 

about 15 an hour and finally, when I snapped, 15,000 a day!<

Holy sheep!! That's insane!!

>I finally changed my email address, which was a royal pain, but an effective 

remedy. I hope Yahoo does right by you and puts a stop to this soon.<

I may have figured out a way to shut Messenger down. We'll see if it works...

I've had this email address since 1995 and I'd hate to have to retire it. So

many other programs hinge on it.

Thanks, Dianne
