What goes on in rec.boats doesn't necessarily stay in rec.boats. That's
why I cautioned you, some time ago, not to broadcast your travel plans. ;-)

What goes on in rec.boats is copied and distributed to who knows how
many web based forums and websites. You need to assume that anything
you say is available to anyone, anywhere who may have interest in what
you do and where you are.

You notice I make a point of talking about my vacations after I get
home and I talk about guns that are already known to the government
via the 4473. I am not paranoid but I understand what you are saying
here. Anything you say on the internet is public knowledge.
Google knows a lot more about what you are doing from day to day than
the government but if the government asks, Google will tell them.

Yup.

The information available on everybody is unbelievable. The cable
companies even have services that customize the advertisements you see.
You may see one advertisement and your neighbor may see another even
though you are watching the same channel at the same time.

Good example is the Medicare thing we were talking about recently.
I turned 65 this month but since September I've been noticing that every
other commercial is for Medicare supplemental plans, reverse mortgages
and Medimucil (to keep me regular).
