Welcome back! That was quick.

Btw, I understand your philosophical concerns, but isn't it the case
that: 1) an unscrupulous company could scan our disks anyway and most of
us would have no clue, 2) their proposed EULA did NOT give them
permission to look at anything that wasn't EQ-related, and 3) they're
much too sloppy and overburdened to go through the hassle which would
be required to actually make use of any other information? I think you
give them too much credit if you think they're capable of doing anything
other than keeping their heads above water.

PS - Perhaps having to deal with a paranoid schizophrenic ex has made me
overly sensitive to conspiracy theories. It's pretty hard to live in
this world when you distrust everyone's motives all the time. Much
better just to distrust everyone's competence. Works for me.
