Thanks for the link ronjor.

Simple question (I hope). What is the simplest way to gum up Google's collection habits? I don't really care if the method is 100% effective. I just want some privacy in my life. Who knows? We between the goverment and our handy Internet friends, we may already be in the midst of 1984. What ever happened to privacy?

Thanks for any suggestions,
Rich
