   Privacy is no different than personal hygiene... where not sticking your   
   hands in dirt is no different than not logging into mothership accounts.   
      
   In response to Carlos, I've finally added the trolls to my (rather complex)   
   scripts which comprise what most of you would call a newsreader to add   
   Joerg Lorenz, among many others so that I don't see what Carlos was   
   responding to from that moron.   
      
   However, I do wish to further flesh out the important topic by requesting   
   advice from the intelligent few on this newsgroup who have something of   
   value to offer in terms of how to obtain privacy from the motherships.   
      
   Since people who abrogate on privacy are no less disgusting to the rest of   
   us than people who abrogate on personal hygiene, it behooves us to know   
   what the basic steps each of the intelligent people here do for privacy.   
      
   One of the basic steps I do, and which I recommend others do, is related to   
   avoiding, unless absolutely required, any mothership tracking account.   
      
   1. Never set a computer to a mothership tracking account   
   2. Never log into apps which _create_ that mothership tracking account   
   3. Avoid apps which _require_ a mothership tracking account   
      
   Note that with iOS this kind of privacy is almost impossible so we're only   
   talking Android here when we're discussing our mobile device privacy.   
      
   In terms of mothership tracking accounts, other than email servers, can you   
   think of any reason to have an app that must have a mothership account?   
      
   I can't.   
   Can you? (this is the collective "you" of the intelligentsia out there)   
   --   
   Posted out of the goodness of my heart to disseminate useful information   
   which, in this case, is to ponder why people log into mothership accounts.
