    I wonder why all those companies do that when I "register" for millionth time as Bard Simpson or Fugg Ovv from Angola. What does it gain(huh?) them except pissing off their visitors is behind me. Thank goodness for "Bug-Me-Not" FF plugin, though it does not work 100% of when I need it of course.

    We have a Republican President and a Republican House, and a Republican Senate. They don't give a rip about things like civil rights or privacy. As long as someone can make a buck, it's allright by them. Unless of course, it costs them money.
