Occasionally I learn that someone has been trying to contact me through my old Shawneelink email address. Unfortunately sending friendly messages, your cousin’s baby pictures, forwarded spam, love letters, and YouTube links to that address is about as effective as printing them out, stuffing them in an old paper envelope, and burning it. To put it simply, that address is no more.
Today I noticed that someone had sent a message to my (old) Yahoo email address, and this prompted me to log in and check the status of it. I was shocked to see that Yahoo had both disabled my email account and deleted all messages, all without giving me so much as a hint that this would happen. I realize that Yahoo has the legal right to do this, but that does not mean it is any less rude and insulting. A simple courtesy email from Yahoo, stating that they are about to deactivate my account and erase all messages, would cost them nothing.
I have not been using Yahoo as a primary email account for years. However, I had given it out as a fall-back address for various online services. If you have my former Yahoo email address in your address book, please delete it and use my current michaelprewitt.com address only. If you don’t have that one, you can contact me through this website for details.
