F. Scott Fitzgerald is often quoted as having said, “The rich are different than you and me.”

At Psychology Today Blogs, Ronald E. Riggio argues that this is indeed the case labels it “Affluency Syndrome.” He goes on to argue that

Rich and powerful people are prone to affluency and can believe that they are above the law.

Follow the link for his reasoning. Then just look around.

Methinks he makes a pretty strong case.

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.
