Kind of scary, huh?

Yes it is...it nailed me as well. I would imagine it's like a site knowing exactly what browser you are using even though you had no idea the info was being collected. Your browser or isp or something like that probably gives up area code or zip address. Your ip address can also be trapped. That may be what leads them to your local. If you're really interested do a search for Dave Stockwell and he can tell you more than you ever wanted to know.
