RE: here's an interesting website stat

Let me assure anyone who is concerned as ztrader is about privacy that I
have do not have any intention of using any data that I might glean from
doing a website for the omegalist for any purpose other than to make the
site better, and better, as time goes by. Ongoing improvement necessitates
not operating in a vacuum and obtaining feedback, be direct or indirect. For
example, knowing the ratio of users' browsers helps with coding and tools
emphasis as unfortunately browsers aren't compatible and will likely remain
so for some considerable time. I want to share the site and work as much as
practical. My emphasis will always be not-for-profit and commercialism
limited to user-to-user.

Please vote for a domain name so I can get "that" out of the way :)

Wow - still in beta tests, and you are already collecting information
about your visitors. :-((( Welcome to the intrusive web. :-) No doubt
profiles of traders visiting the site could be sold for a nice profit.

Also, don't be too sure of your stats. Some of us who value privacy
have systems that report to you only what *we* want you to know. :-)

I appreciate the effort you have put into this. This could be a
valuable site for all of us. Please don't do the things that might
drive careful people away.

Thanks,

ztrader
