There is a world of difference between 'recorded' and 'collated'. Every server you ever download anything off is likely to keep logs of the event for an unspecified period. This doesn't mean that all these event logs are all getting kept in one central location and counted, though. Personally, I would have no issue with contributing information to such a scheme, but I would respect someone elses right to not be a part of it. Also, opt-in or opt-out makes no difference to me; so long as there is a choice, I am happy. -- Spadge "Intoccabile" www.fromley.com
