Remember that 80's song.. I always feel like someone is watching me... and I
get no privacy! LOL
The damage is done in my case I am afraid. My life is out there and anyone
can find me.
That being said every web site you visit your activity is logged. Ever done
a Ctrl-h in IE after a day of browsing and looked at the history that comes
up? Hey I'm an open book. I don't really care what someone thinks about
me, you'll get my honest opinion whether you like it or not. I've had my
share of flame wars over the years and I think I may of killed a man in
Texas just to watch him die but that is all fuzzy it could of been a movie.
