Hi Di,
Looks like Big Brother and now Little Brother are watching...

...the joke is on them.
After a while they will realize they have been tracking the clicks of a stooge like myself.

They will hours of fun trying to figure me out.

One time Yahoo began running a series of adds directed to me immediately after searching out information on Pete Rose the famous baseball great.
Some of the links about him, included stuff about his gambling problem.
Those cookies must have tagged me as a gambler. Immediately after, I got ad after ad for various casinos.
They didn't need to look at my cookies...
They could have simply looked at my Tech Stock Portfolio and my losses and seen that I had been doing more gambling than investing...
:^)
