[PLUG] Apology appropriate?

[Richard Owlett]

My brother asked about receiving unsolicited emails after visiting a 
specific website. I don't use any of the providers he does. His 
interests are quite different than mine and I suspect we rarely, if 
ever, visit the the same sites.

I asked some OS agnostic questions. When I found that he had recently 
changed *OS _versions*, I mentioned it. In passing I mentioned that it 
was two versions of Windows. Some were apparently offended that their 
assistance was assisting a Windows user. For possible offense, I apologize.

King Beowulf's post causes me to realize that the underlying problem is 
cookie control and the use of free(sic) services/sites. Have routinely 
avoided unrestricted use of cookies, JavaScript, and so-called "free" 
services since the early days of WindowsXP.
