Yahoo groups snoops

got this in my in-box this morning. If you know people who use Yahoo groups, you may want to let them know.

Yahoo is now using something called "Web Beacons" to track Yahoo
Group users around the net and see what you're doing - similar to
cookies.

Take a look at their updated privacy statement:

http://privacy.yahoo.com/privacy/us/pixels/details.html

About half-way down the page, in the section "Outside the Yahoo!
Network", you'll see a little "click here" 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 at the top the next page. Be careful
because on that page there is a "Cancel Opt-out" button that, if
clicked, will *undo* the opt-out.
