Heh, yeah, that's the right way to look at it.  I mean, don't get me wrong,
anyone publishing content deserves some shot at finding out how well it's
being received.  It's when that expectation goes beyond reasonable and
abuses the privacy of their readers that it becomes a problem.  There are
plenty of good ways to use clever URLs that can provide effective usage
metrics.  Going beyond those and into 'per view' stats on client-side
activity is something any number of advertising folks would love to force on
the public.  The public, and softwar4e developers, have rejected the notion.
Thankfully.
