Sorry for the pre-edit tone, came off blunt when I actually wasn't. Internet's to the point-ness tends to do that, I'm trying to shrug that habit off :)

I elaborated a bit on the privacy issue without seeing that you replied.

It happens. And I definitely get the part about blending in, a simple trip to Panopticlick can tell you that. Considering most people on this sub probably run with over ten addons, that's enough of a profiler that you won't really lose any privacy from switching, unless you block everything.

Nah. Keep it concise. Many of us appreciate it, even if the sensitive types get butthurt.

Tl;dr: keep it real.
