the more i think about what the privacy policy says, the more inclined i
am to agree with you. looking back at http://www.comcast.net/privacy/, i
can see no mention of how any potentially sensitive data is culled from
the aggregate data collected via the inktomi cache. so in that respect,
i agree with you.

i don't think, however, that comcast has evil intentions. look at the
privacy policy again:

    * Comcast will not share personal information with advertisers,
content provider, other providers of unrelated services or other
outsiders without your consent,

so yeah. but enough of this thread, i've got work to do.
