No  question about it, you are being targeted. 


HI, <g>
 
I know and it is creepy to me. I understand that Andreas likes the  
time-saving aspect of knowing that those 'watching' him are able to give him  
what he 
wants when he wants it. The practical part of that is okay.  THAT  part of me 
wishes that the US gov't would have just pretended to be advertisers  of some 
sort or a company doing advertising for some pornographic company and  paid 
Google $$ to get the searches that child molesters key in ... 
 
But, the private part of me--the one which values privacy, the one which  
would prefer that no one know what I am looking at, or am in need of, etc. 
would  
prefer that those "watching" would not know...
 
Granted, I have trust issues and am a bit cynical.  And, I know that  
advertising/marketing/trendwatching has always been trying to figure out a way  
to 
anticipate your needs/wants/desires before you even know you have them (or at  
the same time you do-) I know all that...
 
My only saving grace is that I look at too much stuff for others as well as  
myself--so if "they" are doing anything, it's putting me in the wrong box.  
Granted, it's one I might never get out of and so won't be very 
comfortable--but 
 the part of me which does not like feeling watched and so forth--knows that  
there are two ways to hide things. One is to really hide it well (ie not ever 
 use your own computer--just a library's or other public access one and not 
use  email, etc) OR to hide it in plain site but with fourteen million other  
things...
 
So--yes, I'm being targeted. Sort of. "They" just don't know it is not  
really ME that they want--they really want Shelly and Rhonda and Sally and Joe  
and 
Pete and Sam.  Unfortunately, all of those people are into the major  privacy 
issues aspect and talked me into making myself vulnerable.
 
But, that's okay. And, though I am more likely not to run but to explain  
life [which would cause those holding the gun to run <g>], still, I've got  
Sparky here to defend me!  
 
Best,
Marlena in Missouri
