Wow, what I brain-dead response I received from USA.net regarding
my complaint they were modifying my incoming email to change URLs
so they would be redirected via USA.net computers.
Their Privacy Policy said to mail them at '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'.
Who can take them to task for this? Declan?

---------- Your Original Question Was ----------
I was reading my email via USA.Net, and was very disturbed to find that
when I clicked on a link in an email I was sent...that you recorded my
activity!
I clicked on this link (within email sent to me):
http://www.free-market.net/spotlight/drugspeech
I clicked using button-2 (under Unix) to open a new window at that URL.
The new window had this URL-bar:
http://www.netaddress.com/tpl/Info/Popup?hidden___url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.free-market.net%2Fspotlight%2Fdrugspeech%2F
That means you have recorded my activity!
The "drug speech" article was relayed through *your* computers,
not mine. I don't appreciate this. It is none of your business
where I visit on the Net.
There is no reason for you to record this information.
Please change your coding so this doesn't happen.
It's taking the "this site is not a part of USA.Net" schtick too far.
Stay out of my email. You modified the link someone sent me.
This violates your own privacy policy.
