    Not sure about you Declan, but this bothers me immensely.  I am investing 
    this with Canada s Privacy Commissioner.  Sure, it s public information, 
    but when compiled, does it infringe on Canada s new law of January 1, 2001?
    
    
    
    I tell you as a technologist, I love advancements.  As a privacy advocate, 
    I hate the advancements.
