I hope you are not referring to me as I have not used Yahoo in years.



I do however know a lot of people who use Yahoo email and did wonder if
this could survive.
One of my other concerns has been the rush to not support email clients
running pop3 and imap. Certainly Gmail have been hassling me, but being not
interested in an ever changing interface, I just ignore them.

I'm sure those that are left will be carrying on.
I also have no issues with data harvesting to pay for a service, as long
as we know what it actually is gathering. I also think that if we could for
example buy email and mail list access on reasonable terms that would be
fine as long as isps like Virgin did not take the **** with their internet
access pricing. One of the main annoyances I see just now is the tv
industry all thinking they will run their own service with their own app and
their own subscription. Many people will and indeed are just hacking their
subs to services they are ****ed off with and are quite willing to wait for
shows to be older and view them either for free or much cheaper.
The golden goose is going to suffer when the eggs break.

I told ya so! I hope that groups.io doesn't make the same decision
anytime
soon but I will repeat my old adage again to try and shake some
awareness
into you; if you're not paying for a service, you're not a customer; you're
the product. And when a product stops making its retailers money, they
stop
selling it. Forewarned is forearmed.


Just because you weren't aware this was happening doesn't mean there wasn't
any notice.

It has been common knowledge for some time. There may be a dead goldfish
in
Sheppey that hasn't heard but you were obviously one of the last two.


Brian, it's the 1st of November and you're *still* an EU Citizen.

LOL!
