Chris,
I find it disgusting too. However, I don't think privacy has become
rarer, I think that it has just become harder to maintain our illusion
of privacy. Even thirty years ago, if you bought something by mailorder,
or even purchased something locally from a 'National Retailer'
that you had to give your name and address (either for home delivery of
a large item or for something where a bill of sale was required), you
usually found yourself on several new mailing lists. Almost twenty
years ago, I purchased a scanner, and found out that cordless
telephones and wireless intercoms are RADIOS - before this there were
party lines and operators. Computers have only changed the scale and
the speed of information exchange, not the fact.
Regards,
Paul Beretta
