All I can say by way of clarification is that - speaking for myself now - I do not think that my activities on The Net are as "anonymous" and protected as websites would like me to believe.
I was in NO WAY saying or implying that YOU in particular had something to hide. My only point is that anyone who wants to dig around other people's business - with some extra effort and knowhow - probably can do so (i.e. in the context of the Google/Facebook/ Unsolicited Advertising discussion mentioned earlier). I have no "proof" per se. On the other hand, by way of example, look how easily the news media gets hold of folks' emails and text messages to support their latest headlines, etc. Are such messages
always "voluntarily submitted" for broadcast or publication . . . or are some of these messages "retrieved" without permission?
I still stand by my original "gut feeling" : Anyone who really wants to track or monitor me probably can - although I have no idea why anybody would bother.
