Bruce - my understanding from reading the google site is that if you install the full featured bar that gives you site rankings, the bar has to communicate with the main servers to do so and yes, they'll add your traffic to the statistics. However, if you install it with "standard" features then there is no communicating between your system and google. Not being a techie, I stand to be corrected on this. I know I haven't seen any warnings (like kazaa or other such software) on the boards I frequent. My spyware software never fingers the google bar either in this lower configuration.

Dear List,
This is a warning the Google Tool Bar is spyware and we are not allowed to
install it a work. At work we use one machine with it installed. This machine is
a laptop which can added and remove from the network at will. On principle I
will never install it at home . If you do not mind being tracked while on the
internet then go ahead and install it. Remember someone is watching and making
money from the tracking results. Sorry, it is very late I have to get some
sleep.
