What's this "Updates" stuff?
Whenever I go to Yahoo Mail to get my email, I get 'updates' like "Ted Vine has connected with Mary C." Usually I just ignore these but recently clicked on one and there was displayed my last several Yahoo Answers! I was aghast! Why are these answers being displayed away from the Answers site? What if I had said something terrible about Ted Vine in an Answer? Now Ted would know it, as well as everyone else who has my email address in their Directory and saw that Ted and I had 'connected!'
Hey! What goes on Yahoo Answers should STAY on Yahoo Answers!
What's going on with this "Update Stuff!?!"

Disable updates in your mail settings.
Mail page>>options>>mail or more options>>and UNcheck the button that says---"enable updates". THEN click "save changes" at the top of the page.
********************************
IF you want to be sure that YOUR OWN updates aren't shared among your contacts---Go to your Pulse (profile) page and UNCHECK "share my updates"--then "save".
