Guinness and sewage
What's in Guinness?
Sewage? I went to www.guinness.com to get info. After filling out questionaire you are confronted with: " Yes, I'm happy with your terms and conditions and privacy policy. www.guinness.com Enter www.guinness.com " There are 14 [FOURTEEN] pages of terms and conditions and 9 [NINE] pages of privacy policy I am not going to read thru 23 pages of docs to read up aboutthere product. You don't have to do that on teh Heineken site to get past first page |

No provacy policy, etc. I very easily found that Guinness is reported to be made with (surprise!) barley, hops, water, and yeast. -- Joel Plutchak "It must be legal, the police are here taking plutchak at [...] stuff, too." - A New Orleans looter, 30-Aug-2005 |
Are you saying there was NO:
"Yes, I'm happy with your terms and conditions and privacy policy" |

Good for you, I'm sure the site has lots of info. > > After filling out questionaire you are confronted with: > " > Yes, I'm happy with your terms and conditions and privacy policy. > www.guinness.com > Enter www.guinness.com The questionaire is very simple (for most of us) and asks three very basic questions. Pick any date above the age of 18 and any country. I chose to be born in 1960 and from Angola. They are asking about age to be sure nobody under 18 enters.

Well, if you want to learn about their (not there) product then you have a simple choice: Click yes as most of us do and move on. Or if you have a low threshold of pleasure wade through all of that stuff. If you are concerned about cookies being placed on your pc just clear the cookies and cache after visiting. > > You don't have to do that on teh > Heineken > site to get past first page So what. The (not teh) Heineken site is a completely different company. But guess what - they are dropping cookies onto your pc too. If you don't want to sign on to Guiness then don't. Hey look buckwheat, the Heineken site asks for age as well. Why are you not concerned about that question. Personally I think Guiness is one of the better brewers sites, with a lot of information about the product and several screensavers and wallpaper. |

I enjoy a bar towel that says "Don't Forget Your Guinnless" Not sure, but I think it was part of an advertising campaign. |

Then you are agreeing to whatever is there on their site; Guinness' site that is. See I got the right spelling. And the apostrophe in the right place. |
> But you left off the trailing "s" -- it is canonically and
categorically "Guinness's", Is that how they do it. Thomas' English Muffins is used as seen here. Gramatically it can be done either way. |

HOWEVER, I ALWAYS make it a practice to read evey word of agreements before agreeing with them. Those who don't may get spyware such as ke-loggers. |

I use AdAware
and Spybot It is less then twice a month that I need to read thru and agree to WWW/company polices. |
