[07:27] <
GERMATOID> WOW THAT'S DEPRESSING SEEING ONE OF THE PIONEERS OF THE INTERNET AGE REDUCED TO NOTHING MORE THAN A PORTAL FOR NETSCAPE THAT HAS ARTICLES ON HOW TO MAKE YOU SEXY

@SpeedRcrX> LOL I never thought YOU'D be the one to ask that.
[07:33] <
@SpeedRcrX> You're the paranoid conspiracy one among us.
[07:33] <
FireFly_9> Look.
[07:33] <
FireFly_9> I'm well aware Google tracks every search I make.
[07:34] <
FireFly_9> But frankly having it aggregate news and widgets for me is no problem.
