Oh dear you're quite right Horace, you weren't pulling any of my

without a clear warning and without an easy way to turn it off!
Obviously signing out will work, but there should be an easier way
such as a checkbox in the preferences page. I wish that in addition
to being amazingly productive and successful geniuses and not being
evil they had some sense.
I just now found:

answer=54067&ctx=sibling
which lets you turn it off.
BTW, your paper on gambling (whose conclusions I fully agree with)
comes first here too when I run the search you mentioned, whether I
am signed in or not.
That is surprising.
