I don't really care about getting traced (one, I don't think they care and secondly and more importantly, I don't see any notices that state that I can only track my own case and third, they shut you down temporarily after you run a few and its not against any "law", nobody is "hacking" here, it might be against USCIS web policy but probably has no basis w.r.t. any law) What I care is that its probably a waste of time, which I agree. So I am not going to bother. I tracked a lot of cases during my AOS time. Not only me, if you dig up some old threads during 2003 timeframe, a lot of people were running trace programs to track 485 statuses. People were using proxies to defeat USCIS limits on case tracks in a session. But for N400, as each DO follows different time frames, its a waste of time here in my case.
