Yip, i read this story, it was perhaps the most sinister thing I have read
regarding the Internet in the last few years. Their defense is that
they sell the information in ``aggregate'' form but I wonder why they
want this information. Kooks in the audience might suggest its for some
sort of mind control experiment, but i'll leave that up to the usual
suspects.

However I would of never realised that this company was the one mentioned,
kudos to Todd for this.
