+1 to everything John Baxter says here. Many thanks for your contribution, John.

I’m not sure who “the rest of the 'net” are. I guess we’re talking
about individuals, whose attitudes and behaviour towards privacy the
pro-privacy campaigners are hoping to adjust? If so, this thread
honestly suggests to me that pro-privacy campaigners may first need to
adjust their own attitudes and behaviour in their campaigning.

Sorry to get all eggy.
