Completely OT. Re. privacy, etc. There are a couple of alternatives. 1. If you don't carry a balance, you can always opt to not use the credit card except where you got to (e.g. car rental) or when the benefits are significant (free insurance). BTW, why do people routinely carry credit card balances and still invest in stocks ? It's not like stocks guarantee a 20% return. 2. Get a 1-900 number. You may even begin to enjoy those long chats... BTW, Using a bogus tel# is no solution. The stores refine the data all the time with many data sources. 3. Invest in a data mining software vendor. CRM too. There is no more privacy - and we may just get over it and look for ways to benefit from it. It may be that businesses will make some major goof such as reveal one's shopping habits to the spouse or something like that. But until they get sued or something, I don't see a way around. OTOH, I think this clickstream analysis thing is way overblown. We just went through this Internet business model thing only recently, didn't we ? (Incidently, there are many others who collect and resell personal info. Such as, headhunters.) Regards -Dinesh
