[quote samintx] ,,,Since I have stopped reading the messages on Yahoo's portfolio pages my spam is almost zilch. ....
And the reason is...
Every time you post a link to a 'Yahoo' news story, the page is full of ads. Every ad on the page deposits cookies in addition to the ones from the tracker sites and Yahoo. I block cookies from the Yahoo.com domain, but that doesn't stop the ads' cookies.
That's why it is nicer to post a clean, print this page link.
As an example, one of your 'Yahoo links' generated FOURTEEN distinct cookie sets from these sites:
adbrite.com
ad.yieldmanager.com
advertising.com
channelintelligence.com
clickability.com
doubleclick.net
intellixt.com
mediaplex.com
msn.com
qksrv.net
searchmarketing.com
statcounter.com
trafficmp.com
valueclick.com
My only solution was to stop clicking on the links you post.
