No wonder M$ is starting to view it as such a threat. :-)

M$ is trying VERY hard to make "reasonable convention" = M$
convention. M$ HATES compatibility.

I wrote a draft policy for the site. *Most* of the suggestions are in
the PP. :-) It IS better than the average site, though, and MUCH
better than many. In the end, though, it is a matter of trust.

Ummm - as a start, they use cookies. :-) I'm not suggesting that they
are used to invade privacy on this site, but they do use a favorite
tool for tracking surfers.

Again, don't get me wrong. I'm **not** suggesting this is a dangerous
site.
