An obvious option is to add a counter to the "user-agent", and to add a "blur" factor to the language options. If you have the same IP address each time, they will know anyway that it is you. However, if you change the user agent every time the IP address changes, that will do more good. But you need to vary among user agent strings which are themselves fairly common. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
