I dont think it overwrites anything with links.. actually i didnt even
notice that when i tryed IE6 beta (it could have been a early version)..
The descriptions that i read indicate that it corresponds to right-cliking
on something and then have some options to choose. The problem that i see
wotj this is that some microsoft server is stealthly contated to retriece
information and therefore a company somewhere in net net knows exactly what
you do in your own time, with your own machine and in your home... This
is scary, i i understand this issue right, and is certainly illegal here in
Europe. In most countries any electronic register with the publics data
must be under authority surveillance and may not be connected to other
registers/databases. I dont think thats any problem in the US.

Mail/write your representatives in Parliament, write "reader-letters" to
newspapers, post messages in news-groups where you adress the issue.
I think it would help a lot if you used Windows and not FreeBSD - i think
it would add credibility :-). So lets let give this chance of "rebellion"
to the lemmings of the world.
