I removed the WOT Add-In after reading Your message last month.

I was thinking recently that "I am not all that important", as Leo says in
some of His askleo.com articles.

And am now thinking about putting WOT back in Firefox because I miss using
it to see what others say about a website that I never visited before,
before I take a look at what's on the pages on that new website.

Did You ever use WOT? or still use it now?   Thanks!

Yep! I'm paranoid about visiting unknown websites.
I'll even go to Wikipedia and Search to see if any of their pages have
the URL of that website in any Links or Articles.

I also have the Add-On in Firefox for Dr. Web but haven't used it as often
as I used WOT to research a new website.

Thanks Again!    .   .
