John T, go look at my posts to Don Dekold and compare ANZ and CLL charts to CY current runup and check out Don Dekold posts on Erin Ventures, Antares, Coleville Resources threads, 2 years ago now but hey you decide if it is promo time or real,

remember it has run to over 4 bucks from nothing,

I am watching predicting a fall back to earlier levels,

just lots of bread no meat to make the sandwich in my opinion,

OR PUT ANOTHER WAY BUN, LETTUCE, BUN, NO BEEF

The advertising is NOT based on cookies. It is displayed in another
window, separate from the browser. The user answers a series of
demographic questions before creating an account on 3web. I suspect
that that demographic information is used to target the advertising
to the users.

No. Each user has a separate account on 3web and separate
demographic information.

No. 3web's privacy policy states that no personal information is
ever released to third parties.

> Will this consumer profile info be combined with the user's "Air

3web's policy is that a consumer's profile is NEVER sold.

I'm not sure how Canadian law works in this instance. You may want
to ask a lawyer for their opinion.

> Do subscribers care if everyone knows everything about them?

85,000 users seem to be confident in 3web's privacy policy. I too
am comfortable with their privacy policy.

The thing is, the advertisers know nothing about specific users.
They only receive GENERAL demographic information about the groups
that they were targeting.

You may want to check out www.3web.net for more info. Most of
the answers to your questions are probably on there.
