True, but I have to say that the selling of mailing lists is common practice. Also, I am not sure how deeply people can see into one if they have a superficial knowledge of consumption patterns. My main feeling about it is this, though: it is more trouble than anyone is likely to take to keep intimate tabs on all of us, and it has long been the case that a good private investigator could find out more about us than we would care to have him know, so I am not sure that we are any worse off. But I have not thought about it much, so I stand by nothing that I have said.....

I think web sites should be made to respect our privacy. It may show a growing trend of intrusion into our private affairs by means of the new technologies available. I don't think web sites are the worst threat though, although it sounds like they could inadvertently provide criminals with valuable information. I think the government is!
