Do you test these out in some unused forum, or get lucky first time? If you look carefully, you'll see a small button titled "Preview" when you are entering your message. I just keep doing that till i get it right.

I know that there is a lot of people doing wrong things that do not want to be caught. It's a common misconcept that online privacy is about "doing wrong or nasty things". When I go to my bathroom, I am not doing anything wrong, but I would not like a camera, even if the person who is monitoring my piss do not know me. The same way, there is nothing wrong in pissing, but if someone was monitoring the ammount of piss you do each time you go to the bathroom, I think you would be pissed. Well, where is the limit ? What kind of activity you would be confortable to be monitored ? And your friend ? The limits are equal ? Is potentialy wrong behavior worth of monitoring or just wrong behavior ? PS: I use Passport and like it, leave cookies enabled and don't care if I am traced, but I can understand people who cares. And excuse me about the piss thing (specially if you are eating or drinking beer in front of computer), but I thought on it as a good example. :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: :bob: Furor fit laesa saepius patientia

You just had to get one up on my signature didn't you? Even if you don't have antialiased shimmering reflections. :-D Now I'll have to think of the next "ultimate signature"... The same way, there is nothing wrong in pissing, but if someone was monitoring the ammount of piss you do each time you go to the bathroom, I think you would be pissed. I'd be a little surprised anyone would want to take the time to monitor my urinary turnaround and analyse the output, but it wouldn't bother me. If someone finds my piss useful, then good for them. Who am I to deprive them? ;) What an interesting idea: Microsoft Pissport. As to the serious gist of your post, I understand what you mean, but we are talking specifically about Passport here. Passport itself doesn't monitor anything like that - if it did the data would be useless anway, and require vast resources to analyse it. The individual sites can (and probably do) monitor thier users. The last website I built tracks the visitors (using the client IP address, UA, etc, to distinguish them) so I can view the logs every now and again and see which pages people are visiting; how long they stayed there for; what page they left on; etc. This is imensly useful data when it comes to seeing if, say, the site is easy to navigate, or which sites the user arrives from, so I could increase advertising there. Although the data is not anonymous, I don't use it for anything over than improving the wesbite. All this is stated in the privacy policy. People must remember that there are more desirable beneits for them from the assimilation and use of such data, than there are negative ones. Anyway, I'm tired and it's my birthday in 30 mins, so I'm off to get plastered down the Hare and Hound! :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :vegemite: :v

We have looked at using Passport on CP when it was first announced, but the initial docs on how to, like, actually get it working were so obtuse and convoluted that we decided it wasn't worth the pain at that point. Microsoft have just opened up Passport to third parties (sorry - was meant to write a news article about that) and others are providing similar services, so whether this makes the use of Passport a little more plug and play, or whether it defeats the purpose of having one sign-in point will be something time will tell. 'twould be cool tho - at least as an option. cheers, Chris Maunder (CodeProject)

And you didn't notice the mouseover effect when the line is full of bobs, you point your mouse at them and they change direction (depends on your video card speed)... Without a single line of script...

so, bottom line, do you have to pay to use Passport? :-D regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa "We would accomplish many more things if we did not think of them as impossible." - Chretien Malesherbes

No, only the "trackees" will have to pay. :)
