So, you aren't taking about the topic of this thread?

You still attributed words to me that I did not say.

So this is the first thread on TexasCHLforum.com that has ever veered off-topic?

Another reach.

If you are addressing your last comment to me, I didn't say or mean any such thing. Putting words in other people's mouths does no one any good. I simply stated a fact there isn't any privacy any more. Being on the internet, buying with credit cards, carrying a cell phone, making phone calls etc., makes more information available to others than most realize and want.

You can whine all you want about who has what list and whatnot but as long as you use the internet, email, phones, cellphones, credit cards etc. and think you have privacy, you are fooling yourself. I doubt the NRA has any more info on anyone that other similar organizations and companies can gather. Right, wrong or indifferent, your info is out there and people are using it.

There is no such thing as privacy any longer. It is a only an illusion from yesteryear.
