I have been saved many times with the text posting sites. I actually love it but really could care less if they have my incorrect spelled words or bad grammar that I changed. Big whoopee. I think we are getting overly ridiculous about this keeping information nonsense. Most of it goes to computer database never to be seen again.

Well the question is why would you as a Christian write a threat to the President or anyone else for that matter. That is something you need to really ponder. If anyone types that, I wouldn’t mind them getting a knock.

Correct. All the information about you is stored on the server, and you cannot delete it. All you can delete is the means of convenient or automatic login (cookies.) But note that social networks have means other than cookies to track you. Removal of your browsing history has no effect whatsoever

So what other means do they use?

Browser signatures, for example. Click here to test your browser.

IP addresses are also quite persistent, even though they are issued by DHCP at many locations.

Those guys are specialists in tracking; they know more about it than a common person would ever bother to learn.
