YAHOO IS WATCHING YOU!
Yahoo is now using something called, "Web Beacons" to track
Yahoo Group users around the Net and see what you're doing
and where you are going - similar to cookies.
TO TURN IT OFF:
Have a look at their updated privacy statement at
http://privacy.yahoo.com/privacy/us/pixels/details.html
About half-way down the page, in the section "Outside the Yahoo!
Network", you'll see a little blue-colored, "click here" link that
will let you "opt out" of this new feature.
Once you have clicked "opt out", you are opted out. Notice the
"Success" message at the top the next page. Be careful here...,
because on that page, there's a "Cancel Opt-out" button, just
below it, that if clicked, will *undo* the opt-out. Feel free
to forward this to other groups.
