Yahoo Reminds Users That 'No' Doesn't Mean 'No'

Posted by michael on from the jurt-trying-to-be-helpful dept.

rawg writes "Looks like Yahoo is resetting their 'Marketing Preferences' again. In an email I received from Yahoo today it states, 'Starting January 1, 2004, Yahoo! will begin to send you messages, via email or postal mail, about our own products and services. You can control the types of messages you receive by visiting your Marketing Preferences at any time'. It also states, 'And, as always, you can delete your Yahoo! account altogether at any time, for any reason, by going to the deletion page.' I deleted my Yahoo account a month ago. I guess they are lying, because I'm still getting their SPAM."

    Amusingly enough, though, SpamAssassin filtered it out and it ended up in my spam folder.

    Internet portal Yahoo may want to think about changing its advertising slogan from "Do You Yahoo?" to "You DO Yahoo."

    More like "Yahoo DO You."

  3. Remember in highschool there was this really cute by eclectro · · Score: 5, Funny


    girl that everybody liked. But she told you "No" and you wondered if "No" really meant "Yes" afterall.

    But her parents had to call your parents to clarify that "No" really meant "No" for really positive for sure.

    It's like that.

    Maybe it was just me.....
