This website does not track you.
It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.
Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.
I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.
Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.

I know a man who went to work for a company that handles claims for a major credit card company. He was new at the job, was “playing” around the computer system & put in his brother’s name. The person whose account he pulled up (not his brother)didn’t know what had happened. The man exited out of the system without doing anything.
He was called into HR the next day, where he was fired. The company paid him unemployment because it was never mentioned to new hires about not playing in the system. It’s now mentioned to all new hires.
He shouldn’t have done it & he admitted it to me. He was just seeing how the system worked. With another card, it wouldn’t have gotten him fired. This particular card company is paranoid about security breeches.
This woman should be fired. No unemployment benefits paid to her.
