Good points. I've gone on minature 'crusades' about privacy, metaphorically
speaking, particularly with regard to encrypting emails, but I've come full
circle again and decided it just isn't worth my effort.

If people really are concerned, they'll find out for themselves. They don't
need me whinging on at them.

I actually think it's quite healthy to be a bit paranoid. The trouble is,
you can always get *more* paranoid, but never *less* paranoid than what you
currently are. At least in my case. :)
