This is on several Yahoo Groups that I am a member of. I did the steps below and it sure is there!
Please do not *spam* this message, but let your contacts know.

Makes me nervous knowing that our privacy on the web is not sooo private anymore with technology growing.
Thank you for the Tib Bit Mike!! Leanne

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 YahooGroup 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:
1. http://privacy.yahoo.com/privacy .
2.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.
3. 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.
Or go directly to this link, and scroll down to "Outside the Yahoo Network"
http://info.yahoo.com/privacy/us/yahoo/webbeacons/
4. Once you have clicked that link, you are exempted.Notice the "Success" message on the top of the next page. Be careful because on that page there is a "Cancel Opt-out" button that, if clicked, will *undo* the opt-out.
