"Paranoia runs deep" Buffalo Springfield. I know that that is a highly respected site, but I've got to admit that dark thoughts also crossed my mind.<g>

Not brilliant, but maybe pragmatic. On the web, nothing surprises me anymore. There is so much junk out there that it is better to be skeptical. Maybe I've been lucky, careful, or a bit of both. Never had a virus, trojan, and extremely little spam. I should have looked when on the site. Was there a disclaimer?

Looked at DShields Privacy Policy which appears to be normal, except for their Cookie policy. Cookies This site uses cookies solely to maintain "state" for login purposes. We do not do any further analysis of cookie information. (Except as may be necessary for security or debugging purposes.) Our advertisers MAY OR MAY NOT collect cookie information. We do not receive any cookie information that is collected by our advertisers. They also make a statement that they will try to hide destination IP's, but that their data base is open to the public. Maybe not overt, but the opportunity for abuse does exist, as it probably does with most sites.
