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.

True story: Having insurance doesn’t always mean you’ll be cared for.
White male in his mid-60’s walks into Kaiser-Permanente clinic in Mesquite, Tx., complaining of chest pains. Clinic SENDS HIM HOME, where he dies 4 hours later from a massive coronary. Kaiser settled with my sister-in-law’s mother-in-law for $100,000.00 while admitting no guilt. This was in the mid 90’s.
“Managed care” along the Kaiser lines is worse than nothing. Mr. Leslie paid out the wazoo for “cadillac coverage” that did no good.
