I am forwarding this message relayed from a heads up received on another
list...
Yahoo is Tracking Group Members activities....

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://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 "opt out" link that will let
you "opt-out" of their snooping. Be careful! NOT to click on the next
button shown. It is an "Opt Back In" button that, if clicked, will UNDO
the opt-out


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.

Yahoo Web Beacons Igniting Controversy Yahoo's current privacy policy is
causing consternation among some users who object to their use of
so-called web beacons'. Known in most circles as web bugs, these
invisible images are embedded in websites and email and used to track
your surfing - and even tell whether you've opened a particular email.
