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:
