Metguru--> yes it is kinda odd I guess. I am been a member of antinonline for years and been following this forum for just as long. But only now I am posting something, because I am trying to promote my site, if you don't like it I can understand that, but I don't think there is anything wrong with promoting your site as long as it has good content in it.

Nokia--> there is two kinds of finger printing (apart from being active and passive); there is fingerprinting that us mortals do and there is fingerprinting that site's like netcraft does.
Good luck with fingerprinting google.com with their exact version of server/OS, and with 90% of the time with extreme accuracy.

" http://toolbar.netcraft.com/site_rep...www.google.com "

It's only hack like this (actually you need more than security cloak to achieve what ebuyer.com has achieved, which needs a discussion of it's own) that makes it possible to fool scanner like netcraft:
ie,
" http://toolbar.netcraft.com/site_rep...www.ebuyer.com "
