“Great Caesar’s Ghost!” 0

I always associated that phrase with the old Superman television show starring George Reeves, in which it was often uttered by Perry White, Clark Kent’s editor at The Daily Planet.

I don’t know the origin of that phrase, but I just learned that it is much older than the 1950s, as it occurs in Mary Roberts Rinehart’s More Tish, which Rinehart wrote a century ago after her stint as a war correspondent in WWI.

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.
