Based on the response to that article I should have had some links.            So, the link to Dave\u2019s site is <a href=\"javascript:\" onclick=\"MM_openBrWindow('http:\/\/www.davehoodentertainment.com','','')\">http:\/\/www.davehoodentertainment.com<\/a>.            While you are there peruse the many titles he has available. They are            a great gift for kids or grandkids, as you don\u2019t have to worry            about the characters in his content. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Privacy Please:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> I am pleased and surprised at the number of new subscribers to the            Viodi View. People are finding the Viodi View from all points on the            web. A question arose a few weeks ago regarding <strong>Viodi\u2019s            privacy policy<\/strong>. I always wondered when someone would ask that            question. The short answer is that I have not taken the time to formulate            a policy. <\/p>\n<p> Here is my 50,000-foot view of what the privacy policy should encompass:.          <\/p>\n<ol>\n<li> The Viodi View subscriber shall be able to choose what level of              information they receive from Viodi and\/or its partners.<\/li>\n<li> Viodi will do its best to reasonable protect the data of its subscribers,              but will not be held liable for errors, omissions or the mistakes              or misdeeds of third-party database management, web hosts or other              entities which are required to realize either the print or online              versions of the Viodi View.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Regarding point number one, I could see where some Viodi View subscribers            would want total privacy and not want any information about them released.            On the other hand, there will be certain subscribers that actually want            us to provide their information to prospective customers or even suppliers.            The implication is that we need to do a little modification to our online            database. <\/p>\n<p> Regarding point number two, we do use a third-party to host our database,            as well as another one to host our web site. Although they claim that            they will protect our data, we are relying on their integrity, competence            and ability to secure their sites in a world that is constantly under            attack from hackers. Additionally, there is always the chance that Viodi            could make a mistake and the next thing you know everyone sees the \u201cTO:\u201d            list [I always cringe for the poor person who makes this mistake on            mass emails that I see everyone once in awhile].<\/p>\n<p> Now, I just need the official wording and legalese to make this official.            If anyone has any suggestions for additions, modifications or legalese,            please forward them on to me.<\/p>\n<p> Thanks,<\/p>\n<p> Ken<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoBodyText\" style=\"margin-left:81.0pt\"><a href=\"#top\">Back to            Top<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoBodyText\" style=\"margin-left:81.0pt\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.viodi.com\/newsletter\/030900\/overview.htm\">Back            to Main Page <\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoBodyText\" style=\"margin-left:81.0pt\">All displayed          trademarks, logos and service marks are the property of their respective          owners. \u00a9 2003 <a href=\"javascript:\" onclick=\"MM_openBrWindow('http:\/\/www.viodi.com\/alliance','','')\">Viodi,          LLC<\/a>.
