Why I Ignore the Land Line 0

Twenty-eight messages on the answering machine over the past week.

Three from real persons that I know, about real things that at least sort of matter at least a little bit (and I heard those through the “call screening” feature and took care of them already).

Two others from real persons trying to sell me something I’m not interested in (I’m happy with my Comcast and don’t want Verizon FiOS, thank you).

Four from recorded voices nattering on about stuff I’m not interested in or that’s not relevant to me.

Nineteen (Xcalc tells me that’s 67.8%): Dead air from when the incoming robocall did not hang up before triggering the answering machine.

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.
