Re: Signing off from Yahoo

[Guest guest]

A good way to avoid any junk mail is to start off w/ a new id. and

when you sign up for the new id...there is a survery they make you

fill out that asks you " what do you like? " and you have to check off

all this stuff like hobbies, interests, etc. the BEST thing to do

is check NOTHING. leave it all blank. just don't show any interest

in anything. this will stop all the junk mail you get. i have

tried this in yahoo w/ two different ids and in hotmail w/ two

different ids. the proof is in the ones where i checked off nothing

in the survey section. i get ZERO junk mail in the one where i

checked off nothing.

i hope this helps. this group is a big help and i would hate to see

your disappear just because of all that dammed spam mail.

Are you getting the posts in your e-mail? I just come on the site to

read them, and I don't think I have significant spam or junk... Maybe

if you change your options so that you only read on the site, it'll

make it easier. Worth a try, I'd think.

Hi Guys:

Yes, I tried editing my membership, and I never did (even from the start) check

off

any of the survey stuff. I did, however, initially have the posts coming in as

emails,

but that became a bit cumbersome, so I changed it. However, while I'm not

getting

the posts, I'm still getting spammed.

SO, maybe I'll try and kill the existing ID and try a new one, as suggested.

Thanks.

Hopefully, and in the famous words of you know who, " I'll be back. "
