Welcome aboard Charles. Those sound like excellent things to
track. I suspect that someone with a marketing background might be

those things from a web site and are there problems with privacy?
I was also thinking that you might avoid the drugs and prostitution angle
in your acronyms 'memepusher' and 'memeslut' .
