Andrew,
While the little sig guy can't actually see what a person downloads, it is a little unnerving to someone who is not quite sure if it can or not. Also, there is an outside chance that prospective C-C guests who might considering joining up with the rest of us, would be scared away thinking that our site has some sort of spyware. We wouldn't want to be percieved as computer spies. Hopefully we would rather be percieved as friendly folks that are willing to welcome all.. Just my 0.02..........................Oldschool
