Re: MD 2011r2 build 803: something wants to contact Google Analytics

Looks like we're both on top of this stuff today. :-)

Ah, indeed, as have I. I was just curious as to what was going on. 
Between my (soon to be trimmed) hosts file, which points a lot of stuff 
back to localhost, Privoxy, and my local Squid (which will probably 
inherit the blocks from my current humongous hosts file), I don't 
contact these places (though I do know that they serve a legitimate 
purpose).

Thanks for clarifying this for me, my friend!

Cheers, and Happy Holidays.

PS - I posted an RFE on the Infinite Kind forum concerning the splash 
page. I figured that might be a better place for an RFE than here. ;-)

Anyone else seeing this in the console (to test, add a hosts entry for www.google-analytics.com for 127.0.0.1 before starting MD). I did just set up a clean MD test install (no extensions, yet) on Windows for something; maybe I'll try that machine, too.
