Article - Explaining why I advise dropping Yahoo(r) services from your systems

[TWP]

I'll assume that everyone who knows about Yahoo(r) also knows that the business failed some time ago AND was sold off.

The consequence is the new "policies" which you will be asked to accept...  DO NOTE, you may find yourself grandfathered under these "policies" and not even be aware of how they may affect you...

Read this article and, if you still use Yahoo(r) (confession: I have maintained my Yahoo(r) email account for now), you must decide if you can live with the new "policies"...

PS:  I did open different email accounts (plural), with non-yahoo(r) businesses, just because of these changes.

It is more than a slight hassle to change the many uses of my Yahoo(r) email address.  It is not a quick process to remember each place I used Yahoo(r)'s email address for log-ins and correspondence AND THEN to change them to some address which is more secure and less intrusive.

I've drastically altered the types of messages for which I use my Yahoo(r) account.  Now, I only talk about the weather and who will win the underwater basket weaving races.  Read between the lines and make your own choice.

PSS: I think you will find the Googles(r) Gmail(r) accounts are just as intrusive and insecure.  Look elsewhere...

FYI

[TWP]

Effective June 8th, Yahoo(r) will be transferring their email service to Verizon(r)...

Before that date, I will have removed and canceled my Yahoo(r) email address.

For anybody who has my Yahoo(r) address(es) be aware that they will stop working.

For the members of NNPG and this forum, you can use the mail link to send me messages. It will use my NNPG email account and you may want to bookmark that address when you get my reply.

Bye-Bye Yahoo(r), you failed, your fired.

June 8th is the default date on which Yahoo(r) email users agree by default to accept the new Terms Of Service (TOS) agreement with the new owners.

I advise anybody who still has a Yahoo(r) email account to read the TOS carefully.  I did and I cannot accept it.

 Look elsewhere...

Suggestions?

[TWP]

WolfBrother, I've PM'd you with my suggestions.  I don't want to post them here.

[WolfBrother]

K thx

But - I've not found any new PM's for me.

[TWP]

WolfBrother;  I used the email link, not the message link, check your inbox for whatever email address you are using with NNPG.  Sorry for the confusion.

[WolfBrother]

Found it - thx.

Did you get the email I sent with the  .mil based radio stuff?

[TWP]

WolfBrother,

I don't recall receiving that email and I don't find it in my local archives.  Can you resend it?  You have me NNPG email address now.

Thanks

[WolfBrother]

look for one dated today with subject - .mil Radio stuff

[TWP]

Ok, I have it now.  Will spend some time reading.
Thanks

[TWP]

Ok, final notice, for those who still have my old Yahoo(r) email address. it is officially dead.

It took some time to actually find how to get Yahoo(r)/Verizon to cancel my account, but it is done and acknowledged.

I'M FREE!!!!
