A friend sent me this:
> Yahoo is Tracking Group Members
>
> 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

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. I remember when they signed all
> users up to get spam and we had to opt out of that a few years ago.
