"Why are you being watched/spied

know there is no such a thing as Privacy on the Internet
whether it's the Web, Email, Chat, Newsgroups, whatever, certain information
about you and your computer, and where you've come from and go to are being
tracked by Cookies and more recently by "Bugs"
Ooops! Did I forget to mention "Rats"!!

"So Who's Doing The Spying?"

use cookies to track visitors and provide instant logon for members but others
are into collecting information that may or may not have a value today, but
may be worth something down the road...
