Joe Mantell, in the voice of Al Teresi:

I’ll never understand you people. You’d think a few million bucks would be enough, but you gotta have it all.

Context:

In this episode of Hart to Hart, he’s speaking to a rich client who’s just threatened him not to reveal said client’s crime, but he might as well have been speaking to any number of real-life persons you and I can name.

By the way, that episode is an absolute hoot! I saw it on Tubi.

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.
