This will be my final word on this subject as sparring with the ignorant and uninformed ain't my style. You just can't have a discussion without insults -- the last refuge of the argument's loser -- can you? Would that it were your last comment, but it won't because your falsely confident ego will prevent that from occurring. The gaping hole in your logic is apparent from your last post. You can't have it both ways. 1. On the one hand, you're telling all of us that people will revolt when they find out what is being obtained surreptitiously (we'll spell it correctly for you here). Conveniently, you overlook the voluntary aspect of the service, as well as the anonymity of it. 2. Then, you tell us the results will be bogus because people will provide false data. Well, hey, didn't you tell us it was done without consent/knowledge? (http://www.dictionary.com/cgi-bin/dict.pl?term=Surreptitiously) How can someone provide false data if (according to you) it's being obtained without their knowledge?? You figger people will just click on random stuff to screw up Engage, huh? And, BTW, since you're so opposed to clandestine (I'm sorry, "SURREPTITIOUS") gathering and usage of consumer profiles, how many DM pieces appear in a consumer's postal mailbox each week with their consent? How many times have I consented to having MBNA and every other credit-card issuer run a TRW on me and determine I pre-qualify for a credit card three times a week? Oh, isn't that what you did for a living?? Maybe your loathing of ENGA is something much deeper rooted... And, you know, dude, if you don't like the stock -- great. Don't buy it. Move on. Shoo. Or stay and read (and learn) a little. But don't fill the thread with your garbage about Congress making ENGA illegal. And by the way, you aren't sparring. You're losing.
