When I started this website, back in 1998, the web was different. It was nice when you had a personal page up and people would send you notes. I never meant this to be scraped up into corporate databases like Clearview's; something that has quite probably happened by now, without my consent and in violation of German copyright laws. I hate taking this down. In a way, the cat is out of the bag already. By now, removing my personal info is nothing more than a statement that in my eyes the web has degenerated into a corporate quagmire of tracking and gathering as much of our personal info as technically possible. I don't consent, I don't condone, I'm frankly sick of it.
