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.

Subject: Short excerpt on trust

"Knowledge is power," her father had said, giving the old saw his usual unique twist. "But there are those men whose quest for power is so schizophrenically desperate they have to pervert knowledge by making it a secret only they and their elitist 'equals' know, so they have the tools by which they can validate their self importance." And, another time, he added:

"Never trust anyone who deliberately seeks authority over anyone else. Not priest, not police, not politician. Anyone who says you should do something because it's good for you actually means it's good for them." Ian; the eternal moderate.
