| Opt-In, not Opt-Out I suppose the requiring users to Opt-IN would be unacceptable to the ISPs and NebuAd.
I would find this to be an acceptable option, but it would, no doubt, lessen the number of users impacted and therefore lessen the profits made by the ISP and NebuAd.
While I would find the Opt-IN to be OK, I'm sure that ISPs and NebuAd would not like this approach, and would do all in their power to fight this and keep it an Opt-OUT only system.

I agree, an Opt-In would be like a van that drives through your neighborhood. You can go up to the guy in the van, sign a piece of paper, and they will start spying on your house afterward to see what eating and daily habits you have. Then sell this information to who ever will pay for it.
Yeah, how many people would sign up for that? That's about how I see NebuAD.

I have gotten similar mail, the company that sent the mail
wanted over 4 pages of personal info in exchange for some
saving program of unknown value. I guess they thought send enough mail out some sucker would respond with info the company wanted, but not me...
I have clicked that link, I hope they enjoyed the polluted data. | |

Carlsbad, NM | A better analogy would be to have these people follow you to the post office or supermarket. E-mail: to see what junk you discard so they can send you more; groceries: what you buy or even just browse for. | |
