And with it, most Bus Depot email - even if we're responding to your
direct inquiry!  I've been told by a couple of customers that Yahoo
classifies Bus Depot email as spam, at least at the higher security
settings, even though we never spam. Then I read a study showing that
Yahoo's "false positive" rate (that is, classifying non-spam as spam) is
22% - nearly the highest in the industry!  In fact the article noted
that many Yahoo subscribers had trouble getting onto the U.S. Government
"do not call" list last year, because, ironically, Yahoo's spam filter
intercepted the FTC's response to them as spam!

So if you're a Bus Depot customer and use Yahoo mail, check your bulk
folder carefully if you've recently sent us an email or placed an order!
