i second that. if you have a yahoo account with the public profile active
you'll get spam. but not simply from being member of a yahoo group.
i also second an earlier post re. advertising. i get messages to a
non-yahoo email which i check in eudora. the most i get is a small text

if you're using a yahoo email address you might want to check your
marketing preferences, which yahoo reset not too long ago. information here:
