Anyone who's on any yahoogroups or has a yahoo e-mail account:

Give this your attention:
Very important information about Web "Beacons" Bugs (the real name) and
Yahoo PRIVACY Policy. This has great impact on your Yahoo ID and personal

info

Just go to...
http://privacy.yahoo.com/privacy/us/pixels/details.html ... On the "Web
Beacons" page... scroll down to the section titled "Outside The Yahoo!
Network"... Click on the OPT-OUT button to opt-out. If you don't OPT-OUT,
Yahoo will follow you around on the Internet tracking the sites you visit
and every thing you do and harvests this info for "marketing" practices.
( You can bet that if Yahoo does it, all of them will do it.)

This is a Web Bug. It is not cool and it is an invasion of your privacy,
but
it is still legal.

As we suggested, be alert, enjoy Internet Groups of your choice and share
the
latest knowledge you aquire. In our opinion, it is far better to inte
lligently deal with these invasions of our privacies than to " run from
them
"
