I recieved a lot of varied and interesting responses to the Yahoo! Web beacon thing that I sent out. Everything from Orwellian and Bushellian references to: "And you honestly think this is going to matter in the long run? Don't you know we're always being watched as it is - whether we "on-line" or not. That's why I always try to be entertaining!" And... " Web bacon? At last! Free bacon from the Internet." And last but not least... "If you don't want to be tracked, here's the one stop solution: http://www.networkadvertising.org/consumer/opt_out.asp " On this sight you can see if you actually have had cookies placed on your computer and can exercise your right opt opt out.
