FYI, This came to my attention, if its
redundant, my apologies.

Yahoo is now using something called "Web
Beacons" to track
Yahoo Group users around the net and see what
you're doing
and where you are going - similar to cookies.
Take a look at their
updated privacy statement:

A similar lack of Yahoo privacy is apparent when you try to sign up as a new member of a Yahoo group.

When joining the MC_IDE group (arranged by Richard Gaskin), Yahoo confronts you with a 
couple of required fields that should be absolutely of no concern to them.
So at first I canceled joining the group, but then thought about feeding them fancy 
data.
This worked. Yahoo would not accept an age of 1000 years, but accepted 3 years.

For Yahoo I am now a three-year old CEO of an Aerospace Company.
