> 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.
