    No, it's not the person. it's a glitch in yahoo! answers. Apparently, they're working on it, but it sends out a BA every 40 minutes or so. It's been going on for a few days. Trust me, I've probably gotten 300 of the same BA's for the same 2 questions over the last few days. It's really annoying, but apparently, they're working on it.

    I am also getting numerous emails about the same Best Answer. It has been going on 2 days now. It is a problem with Yahoo. You are not being harassed by the person who asked the question.

    Unless you have your email as public (if you do, make it private ASAP), it's not the asker emailing you, it's yahoo. Apparently it's been a problem with many people lately. In the "suggestions" section, somebody posted this problem and there are tons of responses saying the same thing is happening. Go to your account settings and turn off notifications from yahoo. That should fix the problem until the glitch is resolved

    It is not the person sending you emails. It is the options setting in Yahoo. Just set your preferences to block all emails and notifications.

    After the next system maintenance, you should see an improvement.

    If you really prefer your contact info be on, then you can test it a few days later by re-establishing your preferences to the old way, and see if the problem persists.

    I don't think it's the person doing it. There has been a glitch with Yahoo and it's happening to many of us that had an answer chosen for best answer. I deleted about 23 of them out of my email last night, and I haven't checked it yet today. So relax knowing that you aren't being stalked or harrassed. :)

    It's probably a glitch in yahoo answers. I always get the error 999 report every time I ask or answer a question. I've been dealing with it for over a week now.

    Answer mine?

    first of all dont pay attention to that different dumb btch who obvioulsy has no theory approximately something. maximum critically you like be very conscious with regard to the area which you and your husband are actually in. specific that's one hundred pc his fault and so on. and so on. yet adultry in the protection tension remains against the regulation under the UCMJ and if he's caught he might desire to very possibly recieve a severe seriouls reprimand or perhaps possibly a gen. discharge based. Is your husband an Officer? what with regard to the girl? i assume she is .mil as nicely. From the way you're describing issues rigidity is possibly the least of countless the flair problems which you or your husband chilly face regarding this lunatic. First you're able to desire to immediatley initiate documenting each and all of the threats that she is making, fairly those related to blackmail, fake allegations, in case you may get her to call you returned on voicemail or somethign comparable that would obvioulsy be appropriate. next you or your husband definatley might desire to get in touch with somebody yet i'm honeslty not sure who he could desire to communicate to. This for sure desires to get resolved yet you have ot keep in mind the prospect that your husband has opened himself and as a effect his relatives to by having in touch with this extensive. A restraining order or perhaps the utility of a restraining order is a occupation ending situation. i think of your appropriate wager is to have him get in touch with somebody in his command yet achieve this particularly carefully. stable success.

    go put up a pointless question, then before you post it it will ask you if you would like to be emailed from yahoo, and then you put no.

    Just go into your profile and make it so you can't be emailed. You can always go back later and allow for users to email you once you get rid of this stalker.
