Hi, everybody,

 

Did you see this odd, avuncular op-ed from the Federal Trade Commission? 

 

I don’t know whether it reassured me more than it scared the living bejeesus out of me.  “Big-Brother’s Big Brother is looking out for you.” 

 

I take it back about contempt:  If one of you would like to write me an email, right now, which begins, “Nick, you miserable, feckless, idiot:  go immediately to your browser properties, google profile, registry, WHATEVER, and do the following N things.  And tell everybody in your family to do the same.” , I would give you a totally free pass on the contempt thing.  And be grateful for it.

 

Nick
