This may seem naive, but – a friend of mine cut off her yahoo personals some months before meeting a significant other. She continued to recive Yahoo personals alert on her email, even after she was no longer a member, she was still appearing on their site (sans picture) even though inactive and told that she would be removed after 3 months. She managed to finally get herself removed but continued to receive alerts for replies to her profile. WHAT GIVES WITH THOSE GUYS – How do you escape their clutches??
