You stated that only self-hosted analytics were acceptable. Your exact words were:

> The only way to do analytics in a way that's respectful to the visitors' privacy is with an installable on-host software. That's it.

This implies - to me - that in your view all third-party analytics are unacceptable from privacy perspective.

I'm not sure how else I was supposed to parse that statement?

Either way, I disagreed with that, and said it's certainly possible to work with third-party service providers, of many kinds including analytics, while still respecting your customers' privacy.
