I'm not sure if you aren't a native English speaker or are just being deliberately obtuse, but I wasn't asking for any consideration on your part. I was expressing disbelief at the apparent naivety of your previous comment where you started off by writing my post "passes for a comment" and then proceeded to argue this article is some kind of insightful work in the area of online privacy.

You never know what valuable things other people have to share, especially if you are curious and open to things you don't already think, if you give people a break; I am constantly surprised. What if we put aside the ridicule?
