Just a heads up to all who find spam/junk mail as irritating as I do.
I found this info on another group I'm in so decided to pass it
along. It is well worth considering. I already did the "Opt Out" for
myself.

If you belong to ANY Yahoo Groups - be aware that Yahoo is now using
"Web Beacons" to track every Yahoo Group user. It's similar to
cookies, but allows Yahoo to record every website and every group you
visit, even when you're not connected to Yahoo.

Look at their updated privacy statement at
http://info.yahoo.com/privacy/us/yahoo/details.htmlAbout half-way down
the page, in the section on cookies, you will see a link that says WEB
BEACONS.Click on the phrase "Web Beacons." On the page that opens, on the
left find a box entitled "Opt-Out.". In that section find "opt-out of
interest-matched advertising" link that will let you "opt-out" of
their snooping. Click it and then click the opt-out button on the next
page.Note that Yahoo's invasion of your privacy - and your ability to
opt-out of it - is not user-specific. It is MACHINE specific. That
means you will have to opt-out on every computer (and browser) you
use. Please forward this to your other groups. You might complain,
too, but I'm not sure if anyone is listening. I remember when they
signed all users up to get spam and we had to opt out of that a few
years ago.
