I figure I don't need them to know what I copy either....

People are so paranoid these days.  It's not tracking YOU.  It's tracking where the content gets spread to.  There is nothing about you in that tracker ID (unless they tie the ID to a session on the server and the person doing the analysis has both pieces of that information)... but ultimately as a person highly interested in SEO, I think it's actually kind of nifty.
