Well, like the vacation messages, Ajit uploaded his addressbook to
google, and google goes ape spewing it's marketing plan, like it's Free
Willy. It's more-than-likely unintended by the OP, but computers merrily
do our "bidding" whether we intend it to or not. 

Maybe are few less auto-scripts are called for. Several music players
are pre-set to upload my file names to a central server, so that I could
automatically receive album art. First, I don't want my computer to SEND
a darn thing unattended and certainly without my giving it permission.
Second, who is deciding this for me? Not so good, IMHO. But,
applications like Amarok are pre-set to dump my information "out
there". ...don't like that one bit. Ric
