If corporations are monitoring what I do on the Internet and everywhere, they are not very bright in grasping who I am. The stuff I get in the mail indicates they think they do, but it is just stereotypes they think fit me, and they don't! I find their attempts to put me in some kind of box funny.
I get many phone calls trying to get me to do something, and in spite of the fact that I never respond to them (I let my answering machine intercept the calls) they keep calling, and calling, and calling. Not a sign of intelligence, I think. No great, powerful masterminds there.
BTW, my browser blocks many ads, and anyway, I don't think I have EVER bought
anything because of an ad I have seen.
