Yahoo up your wazoo.

If you have an account with Yahoo groups, you may want to check this out. It seems they've changed everyone's marketing preferences in your account settings so they can send you spam. I went in and switched all mine back from 'Yes' to 'No'.

Here's the message a friend sent to me (thanks Marty).

Bastards!
