Bleh. Apparently not caring what you do on other sites or even requiring any personal information isn't good enough for the state of Confusion^WCalifornia, so we have a shiny, new, temporary Privacy Policy posted on every page and linked at the top of the nav bar.

If you feel like prettying the language, layout, or whatever up before I get around to it, feel free to do so and submit a pull request.

    No, it is not required that every website interact with users or attempt to track them for the sweet, sweet ad revenue.

    For those who are stumbling drunk from suckling at the teat of that sweet, sweet ad revenue, a site collecting no information is so far outside of their field of vision that they can not possibly comprehend a site that does not collect anything.

    Their normal is "something must be collected" and they've lived that normal for so long they have forgotten that there is an alternative (the 'collect nothing' alternative).
