You may wish to cut and paste the below into a new email to other folks
you know who use any Yahoo Groups. (Please do not hit "forward" which
will send my email address to the world).

===

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.

Find the "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 opted out.

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.
Do NOT click the "Cancel Opt-out" button.
