Be aware that Yahoo is now using
something they call "Web Beacons" to track every member of every Yahoo
group. Web Beacons are 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/privacyAbout 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 "Click Here to 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 Yahoos invasion of your privacy and your ability to get
out of it is NOT user specific. It is MACHINE specific. That means
you will have to go through this same process on every computer (and
browser) you use.
