Calling it a bug was just me being annoyed. I'm a relatively old geezer
who has been programming computers for 25+ years. I miss the days when
you could understand pretty much everything your computer was doing,
along with how and why. My reaction to the stuff today appears to be
being paranoid - I don't do anything that could even potentially get
information about me into the hands of those evil new-fangled commercial
outfits that exploit the net. Well, I occasionally post to normal-channel
newsgroups and curse at the resulting spam email. :-(
