>> As part of our continuing efforts to serve our list-members we will
>> pass along any general Yahoo Groups-related announcements that are of
>> relevance to all of you such as the one below:
>>
>> Yahoo is Tracking Group Members
>>
>> If you belong to ANY Yahoo Groups - be aware that Yahoo is now using
>> "Web Beacons" to track every Yahoo Group user. It's similar to
>> cookies, but allows Yahoo to record every website and every group you
>> visit, even when you're not connected to Yahoo. Look at their updated
>> privacy statement at http://info. =
>> yahoo.com/privacy/us/yahoo/details.html
>>
>> 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, on the left
>> find a box entitled "Opt-Out."
>>
>> In that section find "opt-out of interest-matched advertising" link that
>> will let you "opt-out" of their snooping. Click it and then click the
>> opt-out button on the next page.
>>
>> Note that Yahoo's invasion of your privacy - and your ability to opt-out
>> of it - is not user-specific. It is MACHINE specific. That means you
>> will have to opt-out on every computer (and browser) you use.
>>
>> Please forward this to your other groups. You might complain, too, but
>> I'm not sure if anyone is listening. I remember when they signed all
>> users up to get spam and we had to opt out of that a few years ago.
