In a nutshell, someone took it upon themselves to sue Classmates.com on behalf of everyone. I can understand it. It is probably the single worst site I have ever joined. Kind of a bait and switch site, if you will. I didn't hang around long, but I couldn't get my account deleted. I'm a persistent person, but I think I finally just gave up.
Anyway, here is the notification of the settlement. It sure got my attention. You know, I might be coming into some cash, right? Read below. What this really necessary or even worth the effort??

$10, lol....you could get a very nice nail polish with that!!
That's less than what a membership is isn't it? I'd let them keep it too....
So funny you posted this. I just had a friend mention this last night when we were out. She got an email as well. Just think of all the pretty things you could buy with $10. :)
