I've seen some good reasons why we should keep advertisers from linking prefrences with our names etc. BUT. i think much of the problem may stem from a character issue. you make an interesting point: "Why would you be so against advertisers gathering data about you based on various criteria and applying it to ads presented to you?" if the ads are structured around the preferences you've already demonstrated then you would naturally be interested in more info on said preferences. unless the preferences you demonstrated show information about yourself that you are ashamed of.
i thought the reason 90% of us went into the computer industry was b/c of our bad handwriting!? oh wait, maybe that's just me. the longer i'm here the worse it gets
