That raises a question for me. I was under the impression that each packet could and often did take an entirely different route across the internet, which was used to explain the early problems with VOIP - packets arriving out of order doe to the different routing. So what really happens? Do strings of packets take the same route until... What? I know nothing about this stuff but was told that in real life, the only real way to get 100% of the packets of anything was to physically tap in at the entry/exit point of the building. John W.

We don't know what Google does but my guess it that they don't do anything which cannot be used for selling more adds. Reading e-mails do not add to this while indexing and finding patterns may do. But again, we don't know. If privacy is of true concern for you, don't use e-mail or at least encrypt it. Remember always to regard a normal e-mail as an open postcard; you never know the route it traveled, nor which eyes may have browsed it. /gustav _______________________________________________ dba-Tech mailing list dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
