Yahoo groups has instituted another policy without informing its users.
They are using web beacons (cookies) to track users OUTSIDE of Yahoo's
sites. You can opt out of this program by going here:

http://privacy.yahoo.com/privacy/us/pixels/details.html

After you click on the "opt out" link, pay attention to the next page. The
gray button that comes up CANCELS the opt out, so don't click it.


Note: This opt-out applies to a specific browser rather than a specific user. Therefore you will have to opt-out separately from each computer or browser that you use.
