I used to enjoy visiting the DBA Yahoo group but recently I've found that before I can access any of the content I am required to sign up for all sorts of monitoring by some outfit call OATH. I don't want anyone tracking my every contact with the internet and, no doubt, selling my details to all and sundry just so that I can be bombarded with marketing messages. Is anyone else having these problems and if so is there a way around them?

OATH is the organisation that now owns Yahoo, so you have to agree to their terms in order to sigh in to their sites. It's par for the course and the same with most other online social media sites, including to a lesser extent, this site.

I gave up on YAHOO sites long ago because of the palava you had to go through. The fact that they were hacked a couple of years ago confirmed my decision to give them a swerve.
Cheers,

I tend to keep an eye on it from time to rime as most tournament photos tend to get posted there.
Ive always found the posting a bit awkward and not very user friensly.

If you keep a separate laptop for just things like Yahoo and Fanaticus etc. you will get all the rubbish on that.
The worst offenders are probably Microsoft and Facebook.

P.S. - NEVER put details of your normal email etc. on the laptop.

I use lots of different identities and login names - it helps with my schizophrenia.....................
