thank you for the careful consideration, upvoted.

I am of course not certain, I made a few leaps without evidence because I feel at this point I would be naive if I did not. I actually put the same question to stan just now, we'll see what he says.

I am proud I at least summarized the questions in an entertaining concise way, and as time goes on we will be able to refer back to this point and see what turned out to be good, and what turned out to be bad.

if every search goes through google, and tracking is turned on, then i have doubts about anyone who cares about my privacy. and anyone who doesn't care about my privacy is suspect.

thanks for taking the time to consider, you earn my respect when you address my questions and I hope I will be able to reflect that back when possible.
