Recently i have experienced the necessity of having to enter a "Character String Verification" before i send or respond to emails using my takebacktheus@yahoo.com address. Yahoo claims it is to control spam.

::::::::


After some conversation with some of my contacts i am concerned. One who also uses Yahoo has also experienced this, but ONLY when emailing me. Another has experienced that my emails now are caught in his spam filter everytime, where as in the past they were not.

Yesterday when sending a link of my article i sent two to another website to run, one with the word "Article" in the subject line and one without. The one with "article" made me enter the verification, the other did not. The one that did not made it through to it's destination and the other did not.

When you deal with an administration that controls media and is corporately funded, you can't help but feel a bit paranoid. Any comments are welcome, feel free to email me.

Thanks - 09/30/05.
