ah umm.. I'm not overly offended - it was more of a startle. I've gotten used to USENET, somewhat - nature of the beast. Here's a link: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2010/01/primer-information-theory-and-privacy Apparently 33 bits of information are enough to identify you. I don't bother about the NSA, but plenty of shady scummy types around, so I tend to spread misinformation which *would* make me a big time liar. It's not a besetting sin. Here's a link to my Youtube thingy: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCj93gHgUt69R8oGE5hRXd9g Really, if someone's feeling racist, hire someone of your own kind (whatever that is) to kick you and make you study - that way, you are more in control of your destiny. There's plenty of energy the sun kick out that just goes to waste. (Not the easiest thing to do - finding someone reliable enough to zap the toes, anyway..) It's rather unreasonable for humans to expect the Universe to spin around them indefinitely..
