For Every Effect, There Is a Cause. 0

When I worked for the railroad, I was surrounded by safety rules.

There was a rule of the day, there was a Safety Training Department, and there were rule books for every craft and class of employee. Safety was drummed into us day after to day.

The rule book for office employees was over 20 pages long. Among others, it included a rule that, when walking and carrying a hot beverage, the hot beverage should be carried well away from one’s body.

Seems silly, doesn’t it? Except that every safety rule represented an accident, an injury, or a death.

The same goes for government regulations.

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.
