I simply switched back to classic - the option is there, somewhere.
They asked for a comment. I told them I'm there to read my mail, not be entertained by the interface.
As for many others' comments: anything's preferable to gmail.

I used Yahoo Mail for 19 years. I grew tired of all the pointless and obnoxious "features" they kept tacking on. And every time I'd get accustomed to the UI, they changed it. I recently downloaded Thunderbird and switched to Gandi mail. Not perfect by any means, but I like it better than Yahoo. Haven't yet made up my mind about Thunderbird. It's good but not great.
AdBlock+ cleans up the Yahoo UI rather nicely but that was only a partial solution.
Sometimes the true reward for completing a task is not the money, but instead the satisfaction of a job well done. But it's usually the money.

Tracey Emin Sydney city art bronze bird sculptures Heart of Distance[^]
Quote: The artist's work is default raw and emotional.
It looks like the crap I made out of plasticine in 1973 when back in pre-school. Luckily everything in Sydney and Australia is perfect and paid off so we can send boat loads of money to some poor depressed talentless Pom.

You (all) are making the mistake of shooting at the wrong target. Tracey Emin is doing very well - rich and famous - and is free to produce what she wants. It's the people who buy into this stuff who give it its value, and who deserve the scorn.

No, I think that the producer and consumer deserve equal scorn!

Talentless twat.

Hence my sarcasm as to us having paid all important things off and the place being perfect so we can waste money like in this instance.

So true. I recall a few years ago the Turner prize went to someone who placed two small pieces of wood at right angles.

That money includes binoculars to each and every citizen - too see the birds on the first place...
My kids also 'put' some birds on my roof - it cost me a handful of breadcrumb each day... probably of few hundred dollars until the end of my days...

At least you only got one and funny comments at the bottom of the newspaper article.

There are two types of artist.
People like Jack Vetriano who are loved by absolutely everyone who isn't an art critic and people like Emin who are only loved by art critics.
I'm very much on the side of everyone who isn't an art critic.

Yep - whenever I hear an art critic say that Rubens or Botticelli are overrated...

Having visited the Museum of Fine art in Brussels, I can say that, in my opinion, Salvador Dali painted much better knockers than Ruebens ever did!
