[OT] Webrings

Thanks Schoon, Jeremy. 

After reviewing the Terms-of-Service and the 
Privacy Policy of WebRing, I cannot see myself 
joining this ring. I don't like adware, I don't like 
services which collect information to tailor the 
presentation of ads, and I don't like some of 
the terms of service either. 

I'd rather figure out what CGI or Perl is required 
to power a webring and stargrunt.ca will 
eventually host its own webring, with no 
corporate influence - no adware and no 
collection of information. I happen to be very 
much against this kind of corporate big-brother 
thing and will (one day.... don't hold your 
breath) offer an alternative. 

It also occurs to me that one day I wish to be 
able to offer an alternative host for GZG-L, just 
because I don't want to have our server go 
down or be closed and have the whole 
community out in the cold and lost, separate, 
and disappointed. It is never wise to have a 
single point of failure. 

But, for now, these plans are down the road. 
A community is built (or enhanced) one step at 
a time.
