I did fill out the privacy form to get no junk mail from them or any affiliates, etc.. The junk I get isn't the kind they were talking about I don't think. Most of the emails are for viagra-like medications, etc., tho some are for financial stuff like get out of debt or cheap mortgages, etc., but they are all from different names--ie the same type of message from different email addresses, like real hijacked spam, as opposed to the kind of marketing mail Yahoo would associate its name with.
I dunno....the supposedly hidden email addresses on Yahoo are so easy to decipher. They have the first name and @ and then the first letter of the domain, and it's easy to guess most of them. I'm sure there are some that are less familiar, but most are easy like a=aol and h=hotmail, etc.
Well, maybe it isn't the yahoo thing, but I don't know what else it could be.
