There are reasons.. a lot of people (like myself) both desire and /expect/
privacy. OTOH, there's always that "other person, not me, rabid nutter"
thing; by all means "buy" privacy, but don't expect it to last too long if a
"big elephant" of a corporation or government comes a-knockin'..

Like anything else, if someone /really/ wants to know, then she'll find out
("Tracker" almost certainly excepted ;o)
