This is the exact attitude I'm trying to get past. Its not about
bandwidth or advertising. Its about personal and organizational
information and the potential abuses of that information when its in the
hands of a corporate entity in our "capitalist society". Please don't
look at what DoubleClick is spoon feeding you, look at what they are
doing and draw your own conclusions.

Then don't accept them. As someone who works in security I certainly
don't feel we should all be anonymous. These are your resources to
manage as you see fit and you should be free to accept/deny/log what
ever you want. The latest series of attacks certainly shows that too
much anonymity can be a bad thing. This does not mean that having
someone else logging what you are doing without you knowledge is
necessarily a good or even useful thing.
Cheers,
Chris
