What fascinates me - and every big corporation in the world - is the question "how little does a person have to be paid to give up their privacy?" 15 pages a month seems like a very small price, unless you make every one of them an 8x10 glossy photo. And how consistently would you do that? Even then I think I'd rather retain my privacy. Most people give up their privacy for convenience. I use Gmail, so I'm not in a position to knock anyone who's done so. But I left Facebook several years ago, and I pay cash for nearly everything. The price for this is that you're considered archaic or just obstructionist. -- Giles https://www.gilesorr.com/ giles...@gmail.com
