Dear yahoo contributor,
I would like to say this before I get to the reason I
am sending this email.
I think that yahoo.com is the most versitile search
engine/homepage on the internet today. I have had the
site as my homepage from the first day I started using
the internet years ago, and I have no plans to change
that as of right now. The only reason this email is
going to this address is because I had a very hard
time finding a "suggestions for yahoo" section on
their site. I decided it might get some attention this
way.
That said, I will get to the point.
I feel that too many sites start out with good ideas
and a good format, get very popular, and then get
greedy or "commercial". I really like the services
that yahoo provides for virtually free. I do feel that
yahoo has started to loose some of it's fans among the
people I talk to. I do not want this to happen because
of something most people have learned to deal with
until it's common practice, at which time some lower
class search engine tries to steal the fame with a
"are you tired of pop-ups" slogan.
______________________________________________
The following is an email I wrote to send to yahoo.
When I went to their site I only found a couple email
addresses to send it to, and those weren't really to
someone in the suggestion field. Please feel free to
forward this to anyone from yahoo.com to whom this
concerns.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good site?
(subject)
To whom it may concern:
I realize that a web site, such as yahoo.com, that is
well maintained and is ever-expanding must spend a
considerable amount of money, and it has every right
to make a profit.
Being Christmas Eve, I spent a nice evening with my
whole family tonight. This is a rare thing about 360
days of the year in today's competitive world. I
turned on my pc to say merry christmas to my friends
online. I open a instant messenger and I have one of
those annoying but now accepted messages from someone
I never have talked to before that contains a url to a
website. I went to the site and was instantly a pop up
window gone insane victim. I felt this was a great
christmas gift from a stranger. I thought it was only
right I should return the thought. I went to my
homepage, the one I have always had as
homepage(yahoo), and do a search on morals for a good
site to url them. Well I get a pop up advertisement.
I may be just ranting a little, but I think that pop
up windows are such a disgrace to the reason the
internet was established. I have always been a
supporter of yahoo.com, and still will be. I always
tell friends to "go to yahoo and search for___". When
I seen the first pop up from yahoo a few months back I
remember thinking to myself "I never thought a site
like yahoo would use a pop up" and shaking my head in
disappointment.
