&
ASSOCIATES & OWNERS
Note from site owner:
Primarily our privacy policy is very simple. I despise spam
and
everything it destroys on the internet. I simply would not
subject you to any more of it than is already polluting our wonderful
net already. I respect you as a fellow human being as well as
your rights to sign up for whatever you want, not something that you
don't want. When you get on any list that belongs to me, you can be
assured that there isn't enough money on the planet to coerce me into
selling your information to be abused. There's already too
doggone much of that cr*p going on as it is. Morals down the
tube. (Oh... this sounds like an article.) Mainly, your privacy is safe, respected
and will
NOT be shared unless you break the law. Succinct
and
straightforward. So... enjoy the site, and if you want to
read
the in-depth version, it's below:
