All,
I found this news to be a little disturbing. I belong to an other yahoo group for gliders and got this email from that group. Please read below and I have provided instructions:
Got to this web page
http://privacy.yahoo.com/privacy/us/beacons/details.html
find the "click here" text and click it
Don't push any buttons on the next page and just close it.
You must do this for every computer that you use. I have a work laptop and a home computer. Yahoo puts a cookie that is specific to "etsisk" and that machine. I need to push "remove" button at both machines and it will remove the option for a web beacan to examine my yahoo cookie.
