Group users around the net and see what you're doing - similar to
cookies.Take a look at their updated privacy statement:
http://privacy.yahoo.com/privacy/us/pixels/details.html About
half-way down the page, in the section "Outside the Yahoo! Network", you'll
see a little "click here" link that will let you opt-out of their new
method of snooping. Once you have clicked that link, you are opted out. Not=
ice
the "Success" message at 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. Feel free to forward this to other groups."=20

If you listen on a quiet nite you, can hear
the sound of a Windows 2000 Server reboot.
