Guest guest Posted August 31, 2000 Report Share Posted August 31, 2000 Several people sent me the info telling me to change my egroups profile to " text only " email to get rid of the ads. I did that and resubscribed until I got a message and I see plainly that it did not work. I still get the ads. See below. Several other people wrote to tell me to get the digest. I don't want the digest because (1) I have to manually type in a subject line on anything I want to answer which is far more time consuming than the ads and (2) In order to quote a message, I have to wait for the entire digest to be quoted into the message, then delete the 25 messages I don't want to quote. I personally think the digest is a HUGE waste of time if you are actually interacting with the mail list and not merely reading. So, anyway, I cannot tolerate these ads in the beginning of messages and I'm unsubscribing again. For $5 a month ($60 a year) Egroups will not put ads in any mails. I will pay for a month and Blair offered to pay for another month. We need 10 more people to pay for a month. I'm unsubscribing again. If you want to write to me, write to me at lindat @ mindspring.com (no spaces). M.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2000 Report Share Posted September 1, 2000 , Why not just go to the web site instead of having the messags sent to your e-mail. That is what I do now and I love it, I don't have to keep my e-mail cleaned out and I don't have to worry when I'm out of town or can't get to my e-mail. > > > > -------------------------- eGroups Sponsor ----------------------- -- > > Special Offer-Earn 300 Points from MyPoints.com for trying @Backup > > Get automatic protection and access to your important computer files. > > Install today: > > http://click.egroups.com/1/6347/3/_/453517/_/967747687/ > > ------------------------------------------------------------------ --- > > > > Trish, > > I am so happy that this all worked out for you.

It's too slow on a 56K baud modem. I detest slow in computers, which is why I hated the ads in the first place -- time wasting. I use " web only " before vacation or trips so the email doesn't pile up on the server while I'm gone but it also means there will be a ton of messages I didn't get to read and probably won't since they are all on the web and it's too slow. The good news is that we got the ad thing fixed today. Egroups has " an offer you can't refuse " where they won't put ads in your email if you'll only pay them ( " protection " money)of $4.95 a month ($59.40 a year) and they take credit cards. > That is what I do now and I love it, I don't have to > keep my e-mail cleaned out and I don't have to worry when I'm out of > town or can't get to my e-mail.
