At my local rag, columnist David Hall writes eloquently of an incident of racist name-calling at a college basketball game. I commend his article to your attention.

This bit, in particular, caught my eye:

Contrary to some circulating theories, Americans aren’t any angrier or more violent or more racist than they were at any other point; they just feel more entitled to express the worst parts of themselves than they have in decades. That’s not progress.

Methinks he has a point.

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.
