What you may think is strong I might think is just right for my cup of tea. If someone came looking for you that you didn't know. Wouldn't you feel threatened? If you don't then you must not care. I do. I'd rather they ask me where I came from and if I felt it necessary to tell them I would, but I want that choice left up to me to decide. If its general then I don't care. If my IP number says I live in the U.S. then that's fine. Its not enough information for a person to realy go by. But if I can be tracked to my front door by my IP number, well gee I sure don't want some stranger coming up to my home with hostile intentions. So you may find my words strong, but at least you know my position. I'm the guy waving the flag that says "Don't Tread On Me".
