The bits and bytes are there. You cannot avoid it        unless perhaps you break the law or live in a cave. Various government        agencies alone have quite a stash on you. And of course there are your        recent medical additions. And I won't repeat the numerous day to day stuff        that we all do that contributes to our online files. In most cases humans        can and do have access to them. I'll bet Google can even find some stuff on        you... 8-O              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
