>It seems to me that you are being a bit paranoid here John.  Have you

No he is not paranoid, just concerned like me.

>ever subscribed to a magazine?  Your name, address, phone number, interest,
NOt true. Every magazine your paying for has a small print at some point 
in time that say if you dont want us to sell your name let us know we
will not.

Name and address is far from the important into its other data, How about
your buying habits. Check out Big bear, they have a program to track what
grocerys your buying if your partiticpate in there buyers club. 
Hmm, let see, you go in for health or life insurace but are refused becasue
the big lif insurance purcahsed big bears info and found you buy a lot
of beer or maybe a lot of junk food. As for IU data, who knows maybe people
what to know how many TV your have to determine how active or inactive you
might be. Add that data to the Big Bear data to backup the heath claim info.
