I'm sorry, but I still don't agree with your reasoning here. It just seems like you're drawing bogus conclusions. If your "everybody is using it" logic is the determining factor, then why can I write a simple script in php and immediately determine what operating system you are using, what browser and version you are using, the ip address of your computer, what browser plugins you have installed on your machine, and whether or not you have enabled javascript. Is this a breach of privacy? Some may think it is, but I happen to think not, along with Microsoft, Apple, Macromedia, Intel and many others. In my eyes, it is simply a method for finding out more about the users of my applications so I can enhance their web-browsing experience.
No it isn't a breach...
What you are trying to give as an example hasn't got anything todo with what has been discussed previously and certainly not with what the differences are between programs, addons and plugins, other then that those features are BUILD IN.... again: BUILD IN... and thus not a breach of privacy...

Again, I think the problem is not that you're trying to be helpful, but the rather demeaning tone and blatant calling of something a "fact" that isn't truly a fact. Your insight is usually quite helpful. The "I'm right, you're wrong" attitude is not.
for crying out loud, all my posts in this thread are copies of each other and I constantly keep saying the same FACTS over and over again in an objective manner. Why is it so hard to grasp the reality of it? Yes, I'm getting mad now and only now you have the right to say something about my attitude. I'm only human and you are pulling every possible string of my patience. Ask anyone else on this forum about this thread, they will agree with me. No, not because I'm an elite or for the sake of agreeing, but simple because I stated simple true plain logic facts...
Privacy issues aren't personal opinions, they are facts.
Even after Patchou replied to this thread and said exactly the same thing, you still keep whining about it...
As far as I'm concearned this thread can be closed because this is useless as long as you don't seem to have the slightest idea about what privacy/flooding/etc. is after all these posts....
sorry
