Why are those concerned with privacy "freaks", but those concerned about performance "buffs"? As a person who cares about privacy I find this a bit offensive and it's not helping the privacy debate.

Nice article otherwise and I have to congratulate the web designer - what a beautiful, readable site!

i meant no offense - i used the term "freaks" because a lot of people who don't give a crap about privacy may consider us 'privacy freaks' - sine the article is about privacy however, i think it's obvious that it's just a poke in the ribs, if you will
