How do I turn off Yahoo Update Notifications?

I've been using Yahoo Answers for a couple of years, mostly answering people's questions on Computers and Electronics. Now all of a sudden in the last 2 days, I keep getting notices asking if I want to share my answers on Yahoo Updates. And I can't turn it off, even after trying all their help suggestions. I'm not into all this social networking stuff. I don't want to be some total stranger's "friend". I just enjoy helping others out by sharing what I know.

How do I turn these damn notifications off?
