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.
