Re: Oh Boy, ads are now here said by RadioDoc:Same reason you get ads on cable channels... Yahoo's webmail sucks rocks anyway. Use a POP3 client instead. Actually, you dont pay for cable channels, you pay for access to cable channels. In regards to this, you ARE paying for internet access and a mail ACCOUNT - you should not be served ads on something you directly pay for. And def not served ads when a 'no-ad' solution is not available.
Of course, why is everyone still using ISP centric email accounts? Especially when there are better email accounts available for free. |

My email to abuse@sbcglobal.net received the following response
Thank you for contacting AT&T Internet Abuse.
We apologize for the inconvenience. The advertising is a needed step
towards providing world class service at an affordable price.
AT&T Yahoo! now offers an ad-free Business Email service. For more
information, please see
»smallbusiness.att.yahoo.com/email/
Thank you,
The AT&T Internet Abuse Department

I am more than willing to pay an additional $34.95 per year to help AT&T recoup the cost of DSL....I am not willing to be forced to purchase a useless, poorly designed email package with a domain name I do not need, to get AT&T to stop SPAMMING me
So, adblockplus works just fine - and will stay in place. If ClearSky is a viable option AT&T has lost a formerly happy customer
As to the Morris stale news comment... I get my news off the internet... doesnt matter if I'm in Morris or Iraq - CNN FOXNews, AP and Reuters serve the same content at the same time |

The Morris comment was a joke.
Anyway, I'm sure AT&T is not going to shed a tear over you leaving. Unfortunately, that's the way the game is played at big corporations these days.
There are alternate ways to access your email via the web.

Hey, I know for a fact that CNN, Fox, AP, and Reuters all delay the news by three - four hours if the IP shows that it's from Morris. Vindictive bastards!
La Grange? Total blackout!

The advertising is a needed step towards providing world class service at an affordable price. This cracks me up. I have yet to receive 'world class service' from anyone claiming world class service. Heck, some internal groups at work claim 'world class service' and they dont.
The only time I have received 'world class service' is from a place/buisness that did not claim such standards. |
