>> "Hi folks,

>> In case you are interested in protecting your online privacy: 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
>> 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":
>> http://privacy.yahoo.com/privacy/us/beacons/details.html
>>
>> 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 page.
>> 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."
