| You expect your info on the net is private? Not only that, he expects you, and everyone else, to guarantee his privacy for him. Is that what I expect? Or do I expect that reasonable people won't unnecessarily expose others to risk? Clearly, it's the latter. If you just came here to argue then you w... |

| danasoft's own statements contradict each other. Read their privacy policy. No, you've interpretted their statements in a manner that made you think you might not necessarily be covered by their policy, assumed that they're therefore using your information maliciously, and then claimed they contrad... |

Let me try putting it this way. If you visit danasoft and decide that it's safe to use their sig bug, you are making the decision about whom to trust for everyone here on CKA.
You are exposing me a risk that I have not decided to take. |

| Every time you view a page on CKA with the danasoft sig it will be recorded in danasoft's web server log. Based on your speculation and contrary to their direct statements. and how is this different than someone viewing a page with, say, a photobucket image on it? Can't they just as easily collect ... |

| Danasoft.com doesn't log the IP addresses of people that view our signature graphics - we simply host the custom signatures. When a request comes in to display a signature, our software creates the sign "on-the-fly", and displays the viewer's IP and other computer info on the sign. Our so... |

| I am sure there must be versions of this thing around that don't give any indication at all that it has collected that information. Any page any where could have that thing without telling you at all could it not? Anytime a CKA user posts any kind of URL - a link, an image, etc., the information I ... |

Yes.
Here's the code for your sig:

I scrambled it a bit... It watches everything you do as well as everytime we view a page with it. |

| Your I.P is everywhere, this sig doesn't do anything that surfing the web doesn't do. You are 100% wrong. :D Your IP is scattered across the world on many servers. There is no reasonable way to collect your IP/activities from web server logs from all these servers (short of your ISP providing the i... |

| The World Bank recently acknowledged significant mistakes in its figures concerning poverty in the world.
