To be honest, we've never had one.
Our hosting company keeps records of every IP address that downloads a page from us, but that's just a function of the server's software. I don't look at those addresses to discover your personal identities, but rather to potentially block the addresses if they're engaging in abusive activtity, like loading pages hundreds of times or trying to hack the site.
We don't generate cookies. They might be generated by other sites when you click on a link here, but they're not coming from us.
If you send me an email, it's probably stored in Gmail somewhere.
But that's it.
We really don't care who you are.
But thanks for stopping by.

On privacy (from the KGB Quotations Database):
As a social good, I think privacy is greatly overrated because privacy
basically means concealment. People conceal things in order to fool
other people about them. They want to appear healthier than they are,
smarter, more honest and so forth.
-Richard A. Posner
I do suspect that privacy was a passing fad.
-Larry Niven
It is hard to violate somebody's privacy if the person is completely
anonymous.
-Dana Milbank
Never listen to a phone call that isn't meant for you. Never read a
letter that isn't meant for you. Never pay attention to a comment that
isn't meant for you. Never violate people's privacy. You will save
yourself a lot of anguish.
-Edward Kennedy
Privacy is not explicitly spelled out in the Constitution as freedom of
speech is in the First Amendment.
-Larry Flynt
Privacy under what circumstance? Privacy at home under what
circumstances? You have more privacy if everyone's illiterate, but you
wouldn't really call that privacy. That's ignorance.
-Bruce
Sterling
Privacy- like eating and breathing- is one of life's basic requirements.
-Katherine
Neville (author)
Relying on the government to protect your privacy is like asking a
peeping tom to install your window blinds.

constitute a greater danger to the privacy of the individual. (in 1963).

former for themselves and the latter for everyone else.

You already have zero privacy- get over it.
-Scott McNealy
You can go and find a mailbox right now, open the door to a tin box, tin
door, no lock, with unencrypted information in English, sealed in a
paper-thin envelope with spit, yet people are worried about online
privacy.
-Scott McNealy
