Big Bro is watching you - you may want to "Opt Out"

Jerri

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. html

About 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. They signed all users up to get spam and
we had to opt out of that a few years ago.
