Seriously? You mean cometzone is putting trackers on the dude that use it?
Oh crud, that stinks... phooie... hmmm.... oh well, I use the AOL browser(
finally a good thing about AOL) so i have nothing to worry about, and plus
as to how a company that makes funky cursors would use such information is
pointless to me, unless of course to better create cursors to serve the
users, but they're facing charges so hopefully something'll get done.....
