Got this from another Yahoo Group:

Dear Fellow Yahoo Members,

If you belong to ANY Yahoo Group - be aware that
Yahoo is now using "Web Beacons" to track the Internet
navigation of every Yahoo user. It's similar to cookies,
but allows Yahoo to record every website and every group
you visit -ANYWHERE- on the Internet,
even when you're not connected to Yahoo.

To stop this privacy invasive surveillance, go to
Yahoo's updated privacy statement at:
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." On the page that
opens, find a paragraph entitled "Outside the Yahoo
Network."

In that section find a little "Click Here to Opt Out"
link that will let you "opt-out" of their snooping. Be
careful (!) NOT to click the button shown on the resulting
'You have opted out successfully' page. It is
a "Cancel Opt-out" button that, if clicked, will UNDO
the opt-out. Be warned!

Important:
Yahoo's monitoring
-- and your ability to opt-out of it --
is NOT user-specific.
It is MACHINE -and- BROWSER specific.
***This means you will have to set the cookie
to 'Opt-out' on -every- computer and -every- browser
you use to access Yahoo and the rest of the Internet.

Please forward this concern to your other groups.
