I agree.
There's just too much potential misuse behind linking actual subscribers to
some hot-link, regardless of one's good intention.
I listened today, to the Cybercast of the Department of Commerce meeting on
"Privacy on the Internet." It was a good meeting today that brought out some
important critical issues on "privacy" facing us. The second meeting is
tomorrow. You can catch some of the issues on:
http://www.ntia.doc.gov/ntiahome/privacy/
and the Cybercast should be on at 9:45 a.m. EDT, at:
