I try to pay attention somewhat, just because I like to know
   "what's happening".* But while I talk to interesting people,
   anything I do would be just nerdy and boring in their eyes,
   although interesting to me.* I save everything so if they ever
   wanted my info, I'd say "here ya go".* I even stuck all my
   writings on [1]http://icopiedyou.com - well, in-the-process-of -
   there's a LOT that's not there yet. My name, location, phone
   number, email... all easy to find. No NSA required.* People I
   talk to? All public.* Proxies/VPN/type stuff I've played around
   with?* Yup. I did. 7 years ago I downloaded a $450 scanning
   software using Tor. Took forever to download.* I scanned it -
   virus free - used it for my project... then deleted it when I
   was done with my project.* Company that made it was long eaten
   up by someone else and scanning is much easier now so nobody
   really cares. That doesn't make it right.* But I treated it like
   a public library situation; I used it for what i needed and then
   deleted it, short term, borrowing.* So it's wrong but I'll 'fess
   up and wouldn't mind paying for it if I really had to. I stay
   99.44% legitimate because there's almost never any reason for me
   to be illegitimate or break someone's rules.* But I have on rare
   occasion because the world runs slower than I do and if I pay
   later in terms of a fee or fine, I will.** That was the last
   time I used Tor though; 7 yrs ago.* It was a new thing anyway -
   I like checking out new technology when it comes out.* I saw it
   was P2P, did something with it that I needed, deleted it all and
   just check back about once a year to see "what's new", but it's
   just more of the same ol' stuff.* Nothing I need in there. But
   everybody's needs are different. Rules have their reasons for
   existing, people have their reasons for following/not following
   rules as they do.* I'm as honest as I can be, even with my
   flaws.* It's just easier than picking and choosing :P
