Your post looked like it was trying to assess that privacy isn't such a big deal, period. One of its arguments was an appeal to popularity: the extremely low percentage of people who use special privacy tools. Appeal to popularity can be valid, but I say that it doesn't work here, because the extremely low popularity of privacy tools is fully explained by the fact that nearly everyone doesn't have a clue, and therefore no opinion worth listening to. (When seeking truth, at least. Studying uninformed opinions has other uses.) > BS Ah, that is a meaningful disagreement. Well, you've just treated me of an OCD afflicted control freak, along with Eben Moglen. :-) By the way, the majority of the web site I go to (mostly from HN), work like charms, and I don't often have to enable Javascript. Tor doesn't work, true, and that's why I intend to run an exit node very soon. It'll be a drop in the ocean, but we gotta start somewhere. I liked Adblock while I used it, but animated ads stopped bothering me since NoScript.
