It's hard to articulate and to remember! Thanks for bringing this back on
point, where it started.

And the "platform level" is what I'm most concerned about b'cuz as I use
many of big G's services it's the data trail between services that provides
some very rich information on my day to day online & offline activities,
decisions and choices.
