For some people minimum is still too much, although it is very obvious that the data that is send has only statistical use. The moment you send somebody something, they will see your IP. The use for this is to see e.g. in what countries how much is downloaded. That all said, it is very easy not to register by selecting 'later'. Naturaly by testing the internetconnection, you already give away your IP adress. houghi -- Nutze die Zeit. Sie ist das Kostbarste, was wir haben, denn es ist unwiederbringliche Lebenszeit.
