==== Privacy Policy ====
  * I don't, and can't, provide you "privacy."
  * If you want information kept private, keep it in your own brain. It's not a secret anymore if you tell me.
  * Don't ever type it into your computer, or mine.
  * Any data you put into a computer (yours, mine, anyone's) should automatically be considered public information.
  * Once information is entered (and stored) in a computer, a virus, trojan, hacker, corporation, or government can get it and make it public without your knowledge or prior consent.
  * On the Internet, you are sending clearly readable information around the world over open links between numerous computers. 
  * People may be sniffing the traffic anywhere between your computer and mine.
