As a privacy policy I have naught but that at which a diligent reader may guess or infer from his own experience and learning, and that which the law may require of me and this must come with a caution that should officers on some pretence of authority from the ‘Great Leviathan’, or those of some foreign commonwealth at enmity or no, burst upon my data without my leave nor knowledge then I may be unable to hinder their rude irruption and in such I case I would hope that my readers shall not seek to direct their indignation against one who is in honest truth blameless therefor.
1. The site may use such information as readers’ and contributors’ IP addresses or a contributor’s email address when provided in giving commentary, for any purpose for which I would include per exemplum, preventing multiple voting in any gauge of opinion held by poll herein or to help descry or deter commentary rendered for purposes beyond that which is invited. Should I consider it necessary for the achievement of such purposes in common with other websites and enterprises then such usage may include comparing or sharing data with other enterprises, websites or services which may also be willing in some circumstances to share data.

By the good favour of ‘Automattic’, we present the facility whereby readers may express their opinions, the which is obtained though that company’s ‘IntenseDebate’ service, and since the terms appertaining to that service lie beyond my control I must beg the indulgence of readers that they refer to the terms of IntenseDebate on the website of that service.
