I've been off-net for several months but followed the digest on e-scribe until about a month ago when it would no longer come up. All I'd get was the "That page unavailable" page from MS. Anyway, glad to be back on KRnet and up-dating on the Gathering.

They are not my ISP because a. I want to be able to access the account from any library or friend's computer. b. yahoo wasn't available here when I got here anyway. c. If I get p*ssed at my ISP I can change REAL easy without having to e-mail everyone and change my e-mail address. d. Their new (free again) photo mail makes it real easy to send embedded pictures. e. I can have more than one free account, so I can use one for aviation, one for personal, one for internet shopping, etc. I've got several friends and relatives who have free yahoo accounts and NO computer. A free yahoo account is how they get to send free e-mails from their local library. When my computer quits on me, or my electricity goes out, I go to a public library and use their computer. Support your local library! One of the best features is Yahoo's "Bulk" folder. Anything that trips their Spam trigger goes into a Bulk folder. Looking through the crap in my Bulk folder it is easy to see why. Only on VERY rare occassions is a legitimate note in the Bulk folder. Then it's usually one of those that cousin Myrtle FW,FW,FW,FW to me because it was cute or she isn't taking her medications again. On the other hand, ALL my lists, genealogy, aviation, even advertising I have ASKED for, goes into my "Inbox" folder. I don't know how they do it, but if I have to start paying someday, it'll be worth it. My ISP is a British one (onetel) which I have never used for e-mail. Don't need to, I've got yahoo. I don't work for Yahoo or have any connection with them. Honest.
