Robin thought that people who are on various Yahoo Groups might want to see
this.

(a little ferment never hurt anyone)

If you belong to any Yahoo Groups, this is important...

Sharing a tidbit of information:

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. Yahoo is recording every website and every group you visit.

Take a look at their updated privacy statement:
http://privacy.yahoo.com/privacy About 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". That will bring you to a paragraph
entitled "Outside the Yahoo Network."

In this section you'll see a little "click here to opt out" link that will
let you "opt-out" of their new method of snooping.

Once you have clicked that link, you are exempted.
Notice the "Success" message on the top of the next screen. 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.
