Subject: Fw: Re Yahoo Privacy]

Got this from another group, info for those who are concerned about
their privacy:
_________________________________________________________
You can opt out.

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
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 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.

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