[Lexicog] Unwanted adverts

[John Roberts]

Thanks, Wayne. Yes, that is how it has been for me -- the message on the 
left and the Yahoo adverts on the right - and I read the message and not the 
advert. But then I got a message last week where part of the message 
contents ran behind the adverts. This was a previous message carried 
forward. I couldn't remove the advert. I do get the message at the top which 
says "Pictures have been blocked, etc." but still these Yahoo images are 
there -- in my face.

They are equivalent to unwanted junk mail and unsolicited phone calls. We 
get a lot of that too. But at least with these we can apply to the Post 
Office or apply to BT to have it stopped - or at least reduced. A while ago 
emails from my son started getting spammed by the SIL server and I had to 
unspam his messages to me. He uses Yahoo too and what Yahoo had been doing 
was adding adverts for Viagra to his messages without his consent or 
permission, and this was what the SIL server was picking up on. It seems 
that Yahoo can do whatever it likes and get away with it. Not good imho.
