youtube / google account

[jumpy]

I'm not keen on all of this link everything together so 'all your information are belong to us' attitude from google.
I don't want to be coerced into the 'social network' and have to have yet another set of usernames and passwords to remember for something I will never ever want or use. Apart from you guys here and a couple of other forums etc I like to communicate with my friends in the old fashioned way... by talking to them down the pub or wherever.

There's a very good reason I don't have certain information (like my name and isp email for example) publicised online, not because I do illegal things, but because I like to keep a certain anonymity online - to avoid intrusive attempts to advertise stuff based on web history/interests.
Having the choice as to who I give my information to is something I consider to be quite important. And another thing - if I'm interested in finding out something online, guess what? I'll go and look for it when I want it. It's called initiative. I don't need initiative replaced by google's version of microsoft's paper-clip helper that tracks everything and everywhere I go in order to solicit yet more web spam I have no time for.

Oh, and because I can't log into my youtube account, I cannot delete it now either.
