This:<p>&gt;&gt;&gt;`echo &quot;export HOMEBREW_NO_ANALYTICS=1&quot; &gt;&gt; .bashrc`<p>.. makes me responsible for it.  This:<p>&gt;&gt;&gt; brew analytics no-never<p>.. makes brew responsible for it.  There is a big difference.  Some of us don&#x27;t want to have to maintain yet another .bashrc file tweak just to have a safe and sane environment.<p>I hope the homebrew guys will pay attention to this issue.
