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.

Boy, I could only listen to that guy for 2/3’s of it. He sounded like a psychopath. You can’t have a discussion that depends on facts with someone like that. You know he’d make that same argument for the guy, Jack DeCoster, whose Iowa egg farms caused the biggest egg recall in history over salmonellosis two years ago. He’d argue that the reason the egg farms had manure bulging and bursting out their aluminum side walls and were breeding grounds for disease was because of too much government.

Frankly (I do everything frankly), I couldn’t make it all the way through before I posted it, but I saw enough to think it worthwhile.
These folks are nuts, and they are true believers in their own fabrications.
It is a dangerous combination.
Hofstadter was right.
