Leonard Goldberg, in the voice of Joanna Blalock (the daughter of Sherlock Holmes*):

Greed has no end. It is like a bottomless well that cannot be filled. And at time the wealthiest are the worst offenders.

Goldberg, Leonard, The Daughter of Sherlock Holmes (New York: Minotaur, 2017), p. 252.

*Purported daughter.

William S. Baring-Gould proved conclusively that Nero Wolfe was the son of Sherlock Holmes, conceived in circumstances incompatible with the story of Joanna Blalock. Nevertheless, Goldberg’s pastiche is still a ripping good yarn.

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.
