It's a bit creepy

[*crikey*mate*]

That eBay or Lithium know how many messages I've read. (It's catalogued in your Statistics page).

I guess that by messages they mean posts, as I haven't received close to the number of PMs that they say for them to mean I have read that many of those.

But Crikey! How do they know if I read a post, scrolled past it or even read the same post a few times?

More importantly, why do they bother collecting this data at all, far less reporting the results to me?

you can also be imaginative with the name you chose.... a hobby of yours it seems.

you would be surprised how unimaginative i am. thats why i have plant names now.

if i forget the ID name i just visualise the plant and then the name pops into my head.

or should i have said: bleeps into my head?

Is this a re-invention of the Creepy thread?

Facebook targets me with 'find a new man' ads. Naturally I check them out but I wonder how much we are manipulated into something we weren't actually planning to do before it was suggested?

I just wish the weight loss suggestions were effective too. 😄
