We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Do you suppose this is a natural inclination that comes from your avocation? I suppose you have a hierarchy above you that forces you to structure your classes. It's probably bureaucratic, mindless and totalitarian - and if you want to keep your job you have to toe the line. Just a thought.
