I got a story suggestion to Rocketboom that I pasted below:
-------

If you belong to ANY Yahoo Groups - including this one

- be aware that Yahoo is now using "Web Beacons" to track every Yahoo  
Group user.  It's similar to cookies, but allows Yahoo to record  
every website and every group you visit, even when you're not  
connected to Yahoo.

Look at their updated privacy statement at
http://privacy.yahoo.com/privacy.

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, find a  
paragraph entitled "Outside the Yahoo Network."

In that section find a little "Click Here to Opt Out" link that will  
let you "opt-out" of their snooping.
Be careful! NOT to click on the next button shown. It is an "Opt Back  
In" button that, if clicked, will UNDO the opt-out.

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.
