Brian,

i'm a big proponent of autoconfiguring using ethernet addresses, as well as in

i wonder if you would be so quick to offer up your ethernet address if there
existed databases of accesses to various web sites (porn, say, or employment
agencies, or ...) keyed by ethernet address.


I doubt if that would bother me too much. There is plenty of profiling and 
targetting
today, and I don't think this would change much.
