Since your contining to be unreasonable and overly paranoid i dont think 
anything i say or do will have you trust me.  but then  how can you trust 
anything anyone does?  you really shouldn't use a computer   someone at some 
stage may have set  up something to gather your data.  oh  mail headers, http 
headers.,  What smolt collects is less personally identifiable than those.
