Why I Subscribe at Least as Much as I Can 0

Once upon a time, there were corrupt local governments (picture of two officials throws piles of cash about), but they were watched by people paid to investigate stories (picture of reporters in front of mayor's office) and the bad people were caught (picture of man in cuffs being led away by police).  Then one day the internet appeared and everything changed (picture of computer) and now people want their news for free, so there is no one left to watch local government (picture of mayor's office with no reporters), but that's okay because governments will be good now (picture of two officials chuckling to themselves).  At the end, Goat says, Excuse me while I go subscribe to seven newspapers.

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.
