My Firefox No Script add-on is blocking scripts from google-analytics.com and from freerepublic.com as I type.
Well, send an email to John Robinson and ask him what’s up? I asked him several years ago about JAVA when I tried to post a picture series that, if you clicked on it, would change pics. It never worked and that’s what he told me...

I have the "don't be evil" spyware blocked too, but anyone who doubts that it's there need only view the source for the page and they'll see it's there, right at the bottom of the page's HTML.
I checked it with two browsers AND samspade, which downloaded the raw content including headers (which NO browser will show, to my knowledge), and it IS there. It's not something I've stupidly "allowed" google to insert into my browser. It's on the FR server. Check for yourselves, people.
[Paranoia mode: if you *don't* have it -- or, if only *some* of you have it -- it means that FR has an option to selectively track *some* people. But it is definitely coming from their server.]
