Agreed! Also, many many internet and usenet users are not bound to any IP address... granted this *can* be a way to garner useful information. And most of the people who don't care, don't bother to protect themselves, until there is some reason to. Something far more interesting, IMO, is the question: What events would make *you* realize "how important privacy is"? And to continue: How important is *your* privacy? Relative, of course... Something more important (for those of us who think we care), seriously, is how can we gain/retain/regain privacy *without* significantly impacting our familiar routines and operations?? Suggestions?
