Yahoo mail sucks, it really does
For anyone who thinks Google mail is annoying, it can't hold a candle to Yahoo Mail in the annoyance department. I used to have a Yahoo mail account years ago, but stopped using it when I switched to Gmail (feels like eons ago now). But yesterday I joined the Feline Inhaled Meds group on Yahoo and guess what? You need a Yahoo email to do that, even though it's a public group. Strike one against Yahoo. You also need to enter a mobile #, it's mandatory. I don't even know what my cell # is offhand, had to look it up. That it's mandatory to enter a number I actually never check is stupid and a second strike against Yahoo. BTW, it let me sign up with a first name of "Nicki" and a surname of "Cat." I'm serious. I'm Nicki Cat. But because I put my own birth date in, and because I'm over 50, these are some of the ads that take up a good chunk of screen real estate when I'm logged in: Okay, strike 3 against Yahoo! ...
