Yahoo and web beacons (off topic)

[JB Foster <jb -dot- foster -at- shaw -dot- ca>]

Just passing this onto anyone using Yahoo Groups.

I know this is off-topic. ... but I would imagine there are other's (like
myself) on this list, who are un-aware about Yahoo's use of web-beacons to
track users. ... I sure wasn't!

Regards,

Bruce
