THE SMALL PRINT
Actually, it’s not at boring as it first appears.
User Agreement
Basically, by being here I assume you have a interest in what we are doing/planning/offering/writing/spouting about? (If not the back button is top left). You are more than welcome to stay and browse but please don’t make a mess or steal a lamp on your way out!
Privacy
You may use this site anonymously. Feel free to wear a disguise, but don’t worry—nobody’s watching or taking notes.
‘Not here, buddy’ we don’t use cookies or any other means to track anything or anybody. [What’s a cookie? Simple: ‘a small file exchanged between server and browser to manage user-specified precommendences’.]
So don’t worry about us finding out who you are, where else you’ve been or rummaging through your hard drive reading/adding/deleting files.
All change: we now *do* use cookies—but only on the ‘recommend this site’ feature… we do this to prevent malicious abuse of the form for sending of unsolicited email. The ‘don’t worry about us finding out… rummaging through your hard drive’ bit remains true.
We don’t collect information about you and pages viewed.
Assuming you don’t go retro and phone or send us something in the mail, the only time we get to know who you are is from info sent through email and the webpage forms. We use it solely to deal with the issue and don’t/won’t disclose to others [unless required by law in which case we’ll sell you straight up the river] or leave it lying around where someone will find it. So feel free to submit your name, email address, innermost secrets and anything else you hold near and dear—secure in the knowledge it’ll likely be almost instantly forgotten.
Copyright, etc
Now for the tough bit.
All Rights Reserved. Or Reshared. You figure.
Slapping-on a restriction is completely against our ethos. And effectively pointless—the difficulties of enforcement don’t even merit consideration. So we’ll not get into that whole ‘it’s all mine and you can’t have any’ dance. Hence this simple request… ‘please don’t steal’.
Anything we design or write is freely available for use as you see fit. Take it and do something good. Just be decent. Use your own best judgment. Although we won’t slap you around—others might.
Accuracy of Information
‘It’s the truth, to the best of our knowledge’, in not wanting to mislead we try to be (and believe we are) accurate in the stuff we publish. That said, we’re allowing ourselves the little wiggle-out of ‘this site is provided for information, as is, without warranty’. So, if it all goes wrong because of ‘something you read on the internet’ please don’t come whinin’…
So then, that’s about it. Now we know, let’s all move on.
