Hey guys I just got this from the Duty Roster. Thought you all might
be interested----




I don't know how many of you use Yahoo or are members of any Yahoo
Groups but I thought I would pass this on.

"Yahoo is Tracking Group Members

If you belong to ANY Yahoo Groups - be aware that Yahoo is now using
"Web Beacons" to track every Yahoo Group user. It's 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://info.yahoo.com/privacy/us/yahoo/details.html

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." On
the page that opens, on the left find a box entitled "Opt-Out.". In
that section find "opt-out of interest-matched advertising" link that
will let you "opt-out" of their snooping. Click it and then click the
opt-out button on the next page. Note that Yahoo's invasion of your
privacy - and your ability to opt-out of it - is not user-specific. It
is MACHINE specific. That means you will have to opt-out on every
computer (and browser) you use. Please forward this to your other
groups. You might complain, too, but I'm not sure if anyone is
listening. I remember when they signed all users up to get spam and we
had to opt out of that a few years ago.

Please send this to anyone or any group you would like."
