Okay, Let Me Google That For You (lmgtfy) is creepy.

Not only do I have Google on my trail, but some third party
man-in-the-middle web site adding its own cookies and beacons
and God knows what.

Blecch.

LMGTFY -- No thanks
Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, October 31 2012 @ 08:59 AM EDT
I use NoScript and Adblock Plus to disable everything from untrusted sites just
so I don't have to deal with malware, ads, and other crapola. If you want to
suggest a Google search, just post the terms!

P.S. Anyone doing so, or worse, posting a link to LMGTFY, is just being rude.
If someone asks an honest question on a forum, either answer it or don't. No
need to create these bunny trails.

P.P.S. From the Free Dictionary:

"In economics, regulatory capture occurs when a state regulatory agency
created to act in the public interest instead advances the commercial or special
interests that dominate the industry or sector it is charged with regulating.
Regulatory capture is a form of government failure, as it can act as an
encouragement for large firms to produce negative externalities. The agencies
are called Captured Agencies."
