Apologies, Roy. I'm not sure I'm following you here. Are you referring to data collection and saying that third parties cannot control collection because they cannot stop what they receive? And that all they can control is what they do with the data? Under DNT they would stop *tracking* -- using the data collected for any purpose other than permitted uses? Is that what you are advocating? Thanks, John ---------- John M.
