Friedrich Nietzsche:

Insanity in individuals is something rare – but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule.

Bill Shade, my history professor for the Early Federal Period when I was in grad school, was fond of saying that “history is irony.”

Ironically, Niectzshe went insane towards the end of his life.*

But that doesn’t mean he was insane when he wrote this.

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.
