Subject: Got privacy? Info to protect yours on the internet
For all Yahoo Groups users who want to protect their privacy from the latest
& greatest in snooping . . . this information is invaluable. If you have a
Yahoo account, protect your privacy by adjusting your settings per the
following info. And then pass this info on to your friends.

Yahoo is now using something called "Web Beacons" to track Yahoo Group
users around the net and see what you are doing and where you are
going (similar to cookies.)
Yahoo is recording every website and every group you visit.
To take a look at their updated privacy statement:

To opt out of Yahoo's new snooping methods:

3. Click on 'Click here to opt out'.
Once you have clicked this link, you are exempted.
Notice the 'SUCCESS' message on the top of the next page.
BE CAREFUL NOT TO CLICK 'Cancel Opt-out' button, which will UNDO the
