this is not tracking, those are facebook like buttons?!?

Seriously, (I havent realized before) these embedded images from gravatar.com 
*are* webbugs, allowing automation.com to track BTS usage. 

I too find this totally unacceptable default (to have this enabled by default 
with just the not even yet implemented option to opt-out).

Before filing a serious bug about this, I'd like to get some feedback what 
other think. (Too tired after traveling yesterday..) 

And, I feel really sorry for Don that this feature which looked really nice at 
first sight has turned out to be so, aeh, difficult.


cheers,
