[ale] Possibly OT; NoScript workalike, Chrome

[Kyle Brieden]

All very good and interesting points.  I guess, since I run my main 
email domain through google apps, I am entrenched enough that it doesn't 
matter to me.  Also on that note, I don't pay google for damn near 
anything, and I know up front that the "cost" of those services I'm 
getting is the ad revenue they'll generate off me.  I get up in arms 
about Net Neutrality and ISP deep packet inspection/data collection, 
though, because I'm already *paying* my ISP.  There's no need for them 
to make extra revenue off me if they're already literally getting my 
dollar (or hundreds...).

Sorry to derail the conversation a little bit.  I guess I just hadn't 
thought about it much til it was brought up here.  This is why I'm 
really enjoying this group, though.  More and more every day to 
consider. :)

Very respectfully,
