I believe that Google also has the same policies as Yahoo.

This is news? Most Internet savvy folks have known this for years. Old news.

Yahoo mail and Google mail are the addresses I use when a website demands an email address and I know it will be given to spammers. I hope the goobermit enjoys reading my spam.

There is also the question of how long emails and other transmissions over Yahoo or similar services is retained. I actually stuck with Yahoo rather than considering gmail because I read a couple of years back that Yahoo purges old communications after a few years, but Google retains it indefinitely, including search history.
Don’t know if that is still correct.

Just Yahoo and Google? I wonder about Facebook. Any time my brother and I start bitching about Obummer, we get mysteriously cut off...or am I just paranoid.

Almost every email you send from any web service, or from an application on your computer (outlook, eudora, agent, etc.) includes the originating IP in the header.

I have used Excite.com as my home page for years
never had a problem. Of course that is only my portal to the Internet, I avoid Google and Yahoo as much as possible.

Doesn’t matter. Anyone who believes anything you do on your computer is even remotely private is a fool.

Yahoo and Google are not allowed on my computers PERIOD! I avoid them, I check my registry weekly to make sure nothing is there. I use their email once in a while as a temporary email. Always hide my IP and use a fake name.
