Yahoo To Try To Charge For POP3 Services

Yahoo states that this is so it can 'improve' service quality and 'reduce" spam.' The report says that it's the mailing forwarding and POP3 services, so I'm not sure that it affects the Webmail service; if it reduces the spam coming out of Yahoo!, that'd be one less domain I have to filter into "Spam," which would be nice.
Haha, I'd sooner pay for a slashdot subscription.
Pay not to see adverts ? That'll never take off. ... err. oh dear.
Two wrongs may not make a right, but three
I have an idea for the slashdot editors and their zany paying-not-to-see-ads scheme. Why not randomly post large pictures of Mr. Goatse.cx? I would pay to not see that.
Post your email address to a usenet group then tell me the same story.
Fuck I get like 20 emails [from the same ISP in korea] a day. About buy some shitty sweaters and what have not.
The only reason I use my yahoo account is for the time being it gets slightly less spam than my hotmail one.
I honestly and whole heartedly believe spammers should just be shot. No fines or jail, just bring em out in the street and shoot them. They are a leech on what is good in the world and honestly don't deserve to live.

Someday, I'll have a real sig.
Yeah I got this mail too, but the best part was that it was delivered to my Yahoo! Bulk Mail folder... So even they classify their own mail as Spam :)
To err is human, but to really foul things up requires a computer
