Something akin to my first post. (Noone except JC ever saw it, and I
rewrote it 3 times trying to get it formatted correctly, just so I
could post it. ;) I never did get it formatted correctly, so I ended
up not ever posting it. I think I still have a copy of it, but by
now the thread is long gone I think. :)

Heh, this I did also. Not Yahoo, but "Mail City" -- they post a blurb
about "Get free web based email!" or some such in every letter you
send. I actually didn't switch to this address at the time for the
sole reason of their adds, (I was only reading then, and not posting)
it was actually because they were so very slow. (It took about two
minutes to load one piece of email, and when I first got on the list
I recieved 64 pieces of list mail!) Now I never use said account,
because of the adds. I just think it looks really odd to have
signed my small signature "-Q-" and then end up with an add after
it...
