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.

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 **VERY** little
"click here to opt out" link that will let you
"opt-out" of their new method
of snooping. You have to look hard to find it, but
it is there!

Once you have clicked that link, you are opted out.
Notice the "Success"
message on the top of the next page. ** BIG WARNING!
** Be careful because
on that page there is a "Cancel Opt-out" button
that, if clicked, will
**undo** the opt-out. So don't click anything on the
"success" page and just
close the browser window to remain opted-out.

Feel free to forward this to other groups. Yahoo is
recording every website
and every group you visit.

I just went in to opt-out of this "service" myself
and encourage others to
do the same.
