Yes, I can, two, in fact:

www.google.ca (when logging out, after having used the 
reader, but any google service, I believe, google-
analytics is called and it hangs, so the logged out 
successfully screen never appears) -- I don't care much 
about the problem with respect to this site, as 
reloading the site shows that it did indeed 
successfully log out

www.pcpoints.ca (this is definitely a problem that I 
*do* care about) -- try to log in to check your 
President's Choice reward points balance and you will 
see that you cannot ever get into the site, because the 
site never gets past google-analytics, hence never 
loads

I will have a look at your specially tuned user.action 
file. I feel the default is offering me enough 
protection from web junk as it is configured by 
default, but clearly there is a small glitch somewhere 
that prevents the proper function of loading a page to 
get to a log-in screen.

I have never altered the privoxy config file, but I 
will look at yours to see whether there is something I 
might wish to change in the default set-up.

Again, I would like to state that I prefer to change as 
little as possible, unless absolutely necessary, to 
support acceptable internet use vs. security from 
exposure to web junk.
