i was more startled to learn in passing that yahoo was blocking people's email if they blocked ads. that one seems particularly desperate, given how the last thing yahoo needs now is more reasons for people to abandon them.

That one is right along the lines of 'the beatings will continue until morale improves'.

Or the beatings will continue until morale improves unless you notice the door is unlocked.

Yes, you'd think they knew about that before they made that policy. It really baffles me how someone might think this was a good enough idea to actually implement and that nobody stopped it baffles me even more.

That's weird, because I use yahoo mail, and have adblock installed and I've never had a problem accessing my email.
