[SGVLUG] Meetup

[John Kreznar]

A hearty +1 to all points in these two replies.

In addition, there's the loss of privacy.  Motto: If a thing can't be
done anonymously, it's a privacy give-away to do it at all.  With rare
exception, this means no web posting.

An anonymous download from the given URL [1] and then the pages to which
it points reveals that google analytics gets informed of a visit [2,3].
(What personal information is coded in those URLs?)  Some folks don't
want their click-stream archived by google analytics or anybody else.

Is there any good reason why RSVP cannot be handled by encrypted email?

So true, and so sad.

Absolutely!
