The donttrack.us link doesn't go anywhere except to a page with a weeping goat.

Aha. I left http: off of the front of the URL, so Livejournal was treating it as if it were supposed to be a site within Livejournal. Try again.

Huh. Interesting. Between this and having many of my friends posting warnings about Spokeo.com all over Facebook, I am more and more inclined to shut off my computer and not use it any more. But then I'd be really bored and lonely.

It's not like there is a certainty of having problems. Just a risk. You manage risk levels every day; just getting in a car proves that.
