Did you actually check on this before posting it? The reason I ask is
that it appears to be totally untrue. Yahoo doesn't even *have* a
"Marketing Preferences" option such as you describe (or at least it
didn't when I checked) and there's been no change to my "Special
Offers" status, through which spam would normally be sent.
Please, check the veracity of these sort of messages before forwarding
them to the list. Thankyou.
