For reasons such as improving personalization of our service (for

that we think will interest you), we might receive information

information. We also sometimes receive updated delivery and
address information from our shippers or other sources so that we

Folks,
If I may ask... .
So now we are bound by others' notions about propriety to the extent =
that they assume and allow that they may effectively look over our =
shoulders at what we may be reading--or may even rely on others' GOSSIP =
about what we may/might read/prefer, and these others, whether =
individuals or businesses, consider themselves anything but ill-mannered =
louts in not only drawing sweeping conclusions about our persons, but in =
actually broadcasting their reckless, feckless opinions about us to the =
world, uninvited?
Is basic civility truly dead in the business community (or do I draw =
and broadcast unfair inferences)?
JEK
