[LEMONS] 8.14.2001
When you put up one of those free "welcome to the web" personal homepages, you sort of expect that the company providing it isn't doing so out of altruism and an abiding passion for the Internet. After all, it ain't 1997 anymore. So you expect the floating ads and the popups and shameless self-promotion. So this Web bugs thing that's in today's Times (which means it will be in every other paper in the country as well) seems like much ado about nothing. Duh. The free hosts are tracking who visits their servers? What a stupid article. Get over it, you use the Web, you're being tracked. I'm all for privacy. I'm an advocate of privacy, but this seems like a silly thing to let twist your panties. It's just stats. But AOL, still evil. Always evil AOL.
