    You don’t know how mad my mom was last night when she got that email.

    Hence is why you don’t use ATT/Yahoo as your email provider.

    hmm…I’m glad I DIDN’T subscribe to AT&T DSL like some of my relatives had suggested. For purposes of comparison, I stopped watching TV years ago (except for a few early morning financial broadcasts, as well as the weather) due to the constant bombardment of ads. I wonder if people know that they watch an average of 50 to over 60 commercials per hour of TV. Now, why would I want to pay to watch commercials? AT&T is stupid.

    How about this for a campaign. Anyone who is annoyed with the ads Yahoo has placed on our email pages should do the following. DO NOT CLICK ON ANY AD – EVER. Maybe then they will get the idea.
