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.

Knott: What is your name, please?
Watt : Watt's my name.
Knott: That's what I asked you. What's your name?
Watt : That's what I told you. Watt's my name.

[A long pause, and then from Watt..]
Watt : Is this James Brown?
Knott: No, this is Knott.
Watt : Please tell me your name.
Knott: Will Knott.
Watt : Why not?
Knott: Huh? What do you mean why not?
Watt : Yeah! Why won't you tell me your name?
Knott: But I told you my name!
Watt : Didn't you say you will not?
Knott: Not not, knott, Will Knott!
Watt : That's what I mean.
Knott: So you know my name.
Watt : Of course not!
Knott: Good. So now, what is yours?
Watt : Watt. Yours?
Knott: Your name!
Watt : Watt's my name.
Knott: How the hell do I know? I am asking you!
Watt : Lo! ok I have been very patient an d I have told you my name and you have not even told me yours yet.
Knott: You have been patient, what about me? I have told you my name so many times and it is you who have not told me yours yet.
Watt : Of course not!
Knott: See, you even know my name!
Watt : Of course not!
Knott: Then why do you keep saying of course Knott?
Watt : Because I don't.

[Pause.]
Knott: What is your name?
Watt : See, you know my name!
Knott: Of course not!
Watt : Then why do you keep asking Watt is your name?
Knott: To find out your name!
Watt : But you already know it!
Knott: What?
Watt : See, and you know mine!
Knott: Of course not!
Watt : Exactly!

Knott: Listen, listen, wait; if I asked you what your name is, what will be your answer?
Watt : Watt's my name.
Knott: No, no, give me only one word.
Watt : Watt.
Knott: Your name!
Watt : Right!

[Pause before it hits him.]
Knott: Oh, Wright!
Watt : Yeah!
Knott: So why didn't you say it before?
Watt : I told you so many times!
Knott: You never said Wright before.
Watt : Of course I did.
Knott: Ok I won't argue any more. Do you know my name?
Watt : I do not.
Knott: Well, there you go, now we know each other's name.
Watt : I do not!
Knott: Good!

[Pause before it hits him.]
Watt : Oh, Guud!
Knott: Good.
Watt : No wonder, it took me so long, is that Dutch?
Knott: No, it's Knott!
Watt : Oh, ok. At least the names are clear now Guud.
Knott: Yes Wright.
