Let me try to explain what I mean. I am anal about security. Its not that I 
have anything to hide but my info is nobody else's business. This is why I 
built my own server,website and forums board. Where I go and what I look at 
is nobody's business and I am sure there are others that feel as I do. Just 
recently a news story about google came up in the news and said they are 
writing programs that will turn on your webcam and microphone remotely so 
they can " see what products you use and listen to what radio and tv shows 
you watch". This kinda thing makes my hair stand up! I don't want that to 
happen to me or any other person. I am just trying to think of an 
alternative.
