If you belong to any Yahoo Groups, this is
important...

Sharing a tidbit of information:

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".

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.
Notice the "Success" message on the top of the next
screen. Be careful, because on that page there is a
"Cancel Opt-out" button that, if clicked, will *undo*
the opt-out.

Feel free to forward this to other groups.
