Screw Yahoo! Okay... so I've been using Yahoo! for years and generally it's been a decent resource. Now my problem.... for the past couple of years they have really ramped up their marketing. To the point where it is insanely irritating. Tonight I was trying to read posts on groups.yahoo.com and was hit with so many pop-ups and five glaring ad's encompassing one page I couldn't take it anymore. Now for a solution... maybe somewhat of a solution. I found this site myway. They claim no ad's, pop-up's whatever and they seem to mean it. I would give it a shot.

* cough* You're a very good writer, jasenlee; have you ever considered going into the business of writing ad copy?

Hasta la vista, thread.

Previously covered in this earlier thread. General consensus seemed to be - beyond the 'no ads' promise, what new did this site bring to the table?

Ah yes - preview... what is that for again?
