I've always taken privacy seriously, really.
I remember years ago, when I attended the #

conferences in Salt Lake City, how people looked at me as if I were from an other planet when I didn't want my badge scanned everywhere to get stuff like stickers or T-shirts.
Americans didn't seem the least bit concerned about their privacy, Europeans were a bit more cautious but still promiscuous by my standards.
Even as a young boy, long before I ever touched a computer, I kept my private stuff locked away.
