		<description>Surely:
*Involvement in computer groups (especially those allied to stigmatized practices)
providing false information within computer-mediated communications about oneself or others

Would be good spy activity? If you can make up a name and can reply when someone uses it people will spycheck you less.

And this thing about pirated materials... I&#039;d say what software pirates do is less of a crime than what the mega corporations are up to. I mean, who would buy a sofa if they were&#039;nt allowed to have more than one person on it at a time? Who would buy a car that only accepted fuel from BP? Who would buy a microwave that could only cook popcorn?

Yet gamers and people in general have to live with it. I buy the games I feel deserve my money. Once or twice I&#039;ll buy a game based purely on the hype, and when I realise it for the rubbish it is, I cannot return it because I&#039;ve activated it and now it&#039;s locked to my computer.

In conclusion, piracy should in no way be taken into conideration when deciding if you should be a spy or not.

Buying pirated stuff, I will admit is wrong, but until the publishers realise they should not force us to put up with shoddy software because we put our trust in them and bought it on release day I will continue to try before I buy.</description>

		<description>Nope, sleuthy is coming up negative for me too.
I&#039;m always amazed when Firefox tells me I&#039;ve been making up words.

* Social network usage
* Compulsive Internet use

Aw...

* Involvement in computer groups (especially those allied to stigmatized practices)
providing false information within computer-mediated communications about oneself or others

And... depending on what this means, maybe.</description>

		<description>Darn. I guess I&#039;m not so sleuthy after all. (Is &quot;sleuthy&quot; a word? Firefox doesn&#039;t say it is. o_O)</description>
