Why would you suspect my module that says it will send 4 static strings to be any more dishonest than a module that doesn't say anything about collecting data?

Juerd,

I never stated or implied that I thought you or your module were doing anything dishonest.

If you re-read my last statement, I even say that I understand the benign intent.

I was pointing out that others, some certain percentage of users (we can debate that ratio till the cows come home), will inevitably perceive things differently.
