Alert to Yahoo snooping!

Hi,

I received the following msg from a listserver that I am subscribed to.

Yahoo is now using something called "Web Beacons" to track Yahoo Group

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/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.! I strongly recommend that

you do this. ONCE YOU HAVE CLICKED THAT LINK - YOU ARE OPTED OUT!!!

Notice the "Success" message 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. Feel free to forward this to other groups. Yahoo is

recording every website and every group you visit .
