oh wow!  you were talking about networking, not human subject research.
fooled me.  well, i guess one hyperbole deserves another.  sorry you did
not like being hoist on your own petard.

as to the network, how many people and times need to tell you that the
ops team is unaware of anyone doing anything untoward with people's
packets or other data?  aside from the authentication which has been
pretty well discussed, no one is doing any experiments, either with your
packets or with any of your network data, of which the net ops are
aware.

i guess it serves some layer nine purpose to play demogogue on this.
may your first born suffer the micro-management of being an unpaid
volunteer net op :)
