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.

Insulting people on twitter only works if they’re famous and the celebrity news picks it up as public shaming. It’s hard to think of anything more inconsequential — in this case Twitter, by definition, at 140 characters is like giving someone the finger. Except they don’t even have to see it. In fact, Twitter doesn’t work for anyone who isn’t famous. Your Twitter ID serves no purpose if it’s not on some high profile/high eyeball other place. Perfect application in the Culture of Lickspittle. Ev Williams, quite the inventor.
