Bah. It is nasty, any way you look at it.
Now THAT is cause for concern. But, still, what can anyone do? The data will be collected because they want it to be. I know I certainly don't have the means to stop them.

I don't borrow trouble at this point. If someone steals my identity at some future date, I will deal with it then. I can't live my life worried about the what if's. Heck! I barely worry myself with the certainties. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
