'Hi Folks,

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.  Yahoo is recording every website and every group you
visit. Take a look at their updated privacy statement:

http://privacy.yahoo.com/privacy

About half-way down the page, in the section on cookies, you will see a
link that says web beacons
(http://privacy.yahoo.com/privacy/us/beacons/details.html)

Click on the phrase web beacons. That will bring you to a paragraph
entitled "Outside the Yahoo Network." In this section you'll see a little
"click here to opt out" link that will let you "opt-out" of their new
method of snooping. Once you have clicked that link, you are exempted.

Feel free to forward this to other groups.

Cheers,
Robin
