Hey, again, if living that kind of marginal existence ("I avoid the web as much as possible" ... and "Be offline as much as possible" ... and "If they insist on exposing me to their "smoke" (or, negative externalities), then I cut the contact.") suits you, that's great. I commend you, and I hope you continue to get everything out of life you want. I'm not satisfied with that kind of inconvenience. These are, ultimately, social issues, not technical ones. For me, the solution must come from society (and consequently, become enshrined in law). Dodging the big picture privacy issue with "avoiding the web as much as possible" and "cutting the contact" doesn't work for me. EDIT: Whoa! You made some pretty big edits there! Mark those puppies next time, mister!
