Viewing Thread Problem ?

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???

Right now, everything you say and do on this forum is cataloged, indexed and saved by Google forever...even every word of the banal repartee with Patrick...and available for anyone to find with a Google search.... forever.

And...that is done without the little buttons.

You may complain to Google about the internet if you wish.

NOT good with the 'analytics for tracking use' crap.

The "analytics crap" helps Brent run the Forum.

Let me say it a different way:

If you don't want to use the buttons...don't push them.

[patrickt]

I would say that no one knows how to push your buttons like Chas does.

OK Ron, a little explanation for the coal-burning set goes a long way. But I was right-I don't have to push them but I can't stop others from posting my crap-anywhere.
Would be very attentive to hear from Brent how sizing us up statistically helps him run the site.
Screw goog-I'm going right to the top and calling Al Gore.
