ATTN: Yahoo Users and Yahoo Group Members - Important!

[mbulriss]

Guys,

I am currently in Cheyenne, WY for about 20 hours or so before moving
on, so I am just seeing the messages for today. Time to move on from
this message thread please.

For any new internet users: Yes, web beacons exist on Yahoo. This
was first discussed about three years ago on the net. The message is
correct. Not new news, but correct. Not Bird related, but correct.

Look, in cyber space, your every move is being tracked. If you don't
understand "cookies" or IP addresses or web beacons or search engines
or web crawlers or whatever, you can google search to find out more
about them. Of course your google search will be catlogued and filed
by google and may be subject to government request years from now.
Doesn't matter if you are in China or the US.

But this forum is for Bird related discussions, so let's get back to
that please.

Thanks,
Mike Bulriss
