RE: [ZION] The Way The Internet Reads A Person's Lifestyle

Stacy Smith gives us hope:
 Hi.  Any idea why I am getting mail from vendors who:
 
 1.  Think I like wine when I don't touch a drop?
 2.  Think I am Fundamentalist Protestant when I'm not?
 3.  Send me objectionable dirty mail?
 4.  Want to consider me a home owner when I don't own a home?
 
 If I thought about it I could probably list more things the internet 
 mailers have gotten wrong.  I thought the internet had all my life 
 secrets.  I guess not.

See?  This is why I don't get TOO upset about the lack of privacy due to 
government interference, internet data, bank information, etc.  It's not 
that I trust Those In Power, it's just that I know there's TOO MUCH 
information available to be effectively sorted out.

Oh - I did not mean to imply that any task performed by our government 
might be effective.

Because it is cheaper for them to spam every address they can find rather 
than keep records on who might actually be interested in their garbage and 
send it only to them.  If only 1 person in 10,000 who gets a spam message 
replies, sending the message has paid for itself several times over.
