I got news for you... they can see your IP address on any server you hit, no matter what browser you use. The server has to know where to send the data back to when you make a request, right? And here's another news flash... all web servers log traffic, including your IP, what agent is used, what the referring URL is, etc. This has nothing to do with Spyware embedded in the browser or anything, it's a function of the web server. If you don't like this, I'd suggest you stop using the web. - Herman On Fri, 24 May 2002, Anders Johansson wrote: ->On Friday 24 May 2002 16.00, Rick Green wrote: ->> When viewed with lynx, one can clearly see that article is liberally ->> sprinkled with [clearpixel.gif] tags.
