Robert van Gulik in the voice of Judge Dee (if you are not familiar with the Judge Dee mysteries, well, you should be):

If we measure our knowledge not by what we know but by what we don’t, we are just ignorant fools, Hoong, all of us.

van Gulik, Robert, “the Two Beggars” in Judge Dee at Work (Chicago: The University of Chicago Press, 1992), p. 114

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.
