I fully understand the desire for privacy. This policy is to let you know how and why we collect information from
you and what we do with that information.
Information we collect
We collect standard web logs from all visitors to the website. This information includes your ip address, time of visit and the pages you visited.
This information is automaticlly recorded by the web server. All web servers for all websites around the world collect this same information.
Visitors
who wish to contribute to the site must register and by doing so supply us with a username and a password.
An email is also required to authenticate users.
They will only be known by this username
they select.
Optional information may also be included but is not manditory for users wishing to post to the site. Optional information includes birthdate, your
real name, occupation, email address and a picture.

Cookies are a common tool used to track visitors to websites. Your cookies MUST be enabled if you wish to post information on the website and be a

log in we place a simple cookie on your computer which includes your unique user id used by the website to identify you and a session id used to ensure
that no one can fake your identity. No other information is collected or stored with cookies. In essence the cookie allows you to sign in once and
remain signed in until you leave.
What we do with this information
Pretty much nothing. Your information will never be sold, given away or handed over unless required to do so by law. We will never sent you mail with
the exception of email in the case the website goes offline and returns online at a new address. Any information we collect is the bare minimal amount
of information needed to allow a site like this to function technically or optional information which allows you to share a little bit more about
yourself
to the rest of the community.
3rd Party Cookies
Some 3rd parties may also use cookies to track certain bits of information. Currently, Google will place some cookies on your machine for two reasons.
The first is in the ad-serving code which is used to display relevant ads to you. The second is in Analytics, which is reporting software we use from
Google. This allows us to view stats on the visitors who come to the website and help us determin which features should be improved, are popular, are
not popular and so on. We can not track which pages YOU visited from this information, we can only see XXXX number of people have visited specific
pages.
