Collateral damage?
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.

On a lighter note, we passed through Deer Trail, in the northern part of Colorado Tuesday when it dawned on me why I remembered the name. That is the town where they thought it wise to sell permits to shoot any drones they see flying. $25.00 & you too can have your permit to shoot drones out of the air. On the flip side, it won’t be a happy time for them if someone actually manages to shoot one down. I’m pretty sure there are a few federal, as well as local, entities that would object to rifles being fired into the air & their drones being destroyed like that!

I read about that story!
I don’t have problems with drones, “unmanned aircraft” or “UAVs,” as the new term seems to be. I can see great uses for them, as in your recent floods and fires, for example.
My concerns boil down to two:
