I have to agree that "Google is not your friend", and I agree that one ought 
not to have to run any info collecting scripts.  After all, how many dead 
Nigerian businessmen offering millions of dollars do we really need emails 
from?  I think mine currently amount to approximately 116 million dollars 
offered me per day.  I'm not Obamer, I really don't normally spend hundreds of 
millions of dollars per day!  ...now my wife on the other hand...!
