I’ve just had a phone call from someone. “Oh, you’ll be surprised to get this call, I expect”.
yes – I was. Because I had looked at his web site yesterday, and he extracted our IP from his logs (presumably), and discovering that I was a web developer, rang me up to see why I was looking at them, and what I thought of them.
now, I know that web logs catch this information – and indeed, we capture it ourselves, and analyse it. But I would never *ever* dream of phoning someone who had appeared in my web logs – I think that’s a real invasion of privacy.
am I alone?
