Hi Ari,
it's great to see you find one of my About Email articles worthy of quotation (see http://email.about.com/od/outlooktips/qt/et_getyahoofree.htm ).
Unfortunately, you've gone a bit overboard and copied considerable parts of the article, which are copyrighted material, in full. Please either replace that with a few quotations and a link or remove the page. If you're interested in purchasing the full monty for your blog, you can contact About.com at http://beanadvertiser.about.com/contact/printrequests.html . Somebody from New York Times Co. will be happy to work with you.
all the best,
Heinz
