OK, to continue this - in the past I did use Tor with Flash enabled after 
having Flash cookies on the hard drive from surfing when I was not using 
Tor.  In your opinion, is it likely that some websites would use these 
Flash cookies to realise that the person surfing with Tor is the same 
person who was surfing days / weeks / months earlier when not using Tor?  
Would they then be able to connect non-Tor IPs to the person currently 
using Tor (me)?
