And yet you’re posting here on social media, Spangler?"
You are right, I am posting here. But I never use Google to get here. I prefer a company that doesn't track me and sell on that information.

I wonder what people who are worried about their shopping or spending habits being online are really worried about. I honestly don’t care if people know I’ve bought a load of elastic or a pair or shoes."
I care very much. It isn't simply the purchase that's logged and profiled, it's the amount that's spent and the time and date. What do they want that for?

i'm no Luddite. so I won't be sharing my email address anytime soon
The above proves that you are. Millions of people know your email address. How do you think we get spam emails."
The way I define Luddite is someone who wishes for an end to something. The Luddites smashed up the machinery that they saw as a threat to their jobs. I have no wish to see an end to the internet.

I think Esspee that there are many VM’s out there and it’s not so much a case of ‘can’t’ but more ‘won’t’."
Guilty as charged, I'm a social creature that prefers engaging with others, so while I can, I will continue to bank at my bank, shop at the shops and pay bills at the Post Office.
If you enjoy using the internet, good for you, I don't mind. As yet I haven't missed out on anything, and MerylStreep, I'm still waiting for my first spam email.
