OK, I know this is off topic, but I received this on another list. It seems
good old Yahoo is really at it!

"Yahoo really has their noses up your butt these days. They are now
using something called "Web Beacons" to track you around the net & see
what you are doing.
Take a look at
http://privacy.yahoo.com/privacy/us/pixels/details.html Somewhere
about halfway down the page, under "Outside the Yahoo! Network" there is
a tiny little link that lets you opt-out of their electronic snooping. I
advise everyone to do so immediately if not sooner.
Also note that when you opt out, a window opens that says you have
successfully
optd out, but also says that if you want ot cancel opt out to press the small
window below. I almost clicked the small window thinking for a moment that it
was the final opt out. NOT!!!!! Put there to fake you out. "
