Thanks for the reply. So if I get this, a thread in which I happen to post text or pics can be sent by another member to twitt for example (aptly named for some of my colleagues on here) and without my knowledge appear on the web worlds stage. Yes??
I'm good with the email and print buttons-NOT good with the 'analytics for tracking use' crap.
Don't we all B**** about the Big Brother tactics for persecution and tracking of of our cars? Do we really want to help sponsors and bad guys devour us on the web-voluntarily no less?
Ron, after I read the Privacy link, could I have the 'social (disease) buttons' removed from my sig and would that prevent my posts from appearing all over the universe? Or is it a case of everybody's got 'em, no exceptions because it's a programming PIA??
BTW, nobody on here is interested in what I write anyway-why should the web world at large be fascinated???
