Yes, "man sniffs feet" is information. I'll get right on that. So glad I heard. And got all the spam calls as well, because they are information too. Oh, I see. So that's the only story which German Law won't allow you Brits to read? Trust the Germans to tell you what you can and cannot see. It's EU law and most consumers welcomed it. The UK, however, is in the process of winding it back, so none. It's not that you give them info - that's no big deal - it's that they sell it over and over and your inbox and or phone clogs with crap. Did you know your phone number is publicly available from LinkedIn without you giving consent?

Not that I've ever seen (and it's not in their block options). They might get round it (and my wording is not correct, actually) - they don't sell it, they make it available via apps like this: www.lusha.com/lusha-extension/Sales people love it.

That's what allowed for this miracle of ready information we have today. We're better off if the government does not try and regulate it.

People who don't comply with the law (which is the puny effort of adding 3 fields to your contact database) are not there to provide information - they are there to harvest your data and sell it. Why would you support them?

Why would you support them? I'm not a big free market guy. But these sites need to finance themselves to provide better service. Yes, they're there to provide information and make money. It's just like your baker doesn't make bread only because he likes making bread. He needs to make a profit.

Meh, without reading the details of the Fourth Reich's law, and since I've never had a problem with the American regulations, I'll stick with good old English and American law.

Enjoy your cold calls and spam mail. So now you drink until 4am and start again at 7-8am? Well, you certainly are the master of will power, logic and austerity you find it so important to convince people you are. Have you been too buzzed to notice that you do things like read where I post "thick as a brick" then you post it, ditto Churchill and sober in the morning? So why don't you take the stubborn streak and self-image obsession that drive you to fake not-reading my posts and white knuckle your way to sobriety? There it is, answered my own question; you can't any kind of knuckle anything with such thin skin. I keep forgetting.

But that has nothing to do with any site I visit on the internet. Freedom of information on the internet takes priority. I'll deal with annoying telemarketers.

Your phone company or car company has sold your number. And you really don't get spam email? Really...?

No, I wasn't. You were being mean to me and you were attacking me, then I responded to it. I have not started one argument or feud with any poster on that board. You are mean to me and attack me, then I am mean to you and attack you. You aren't really being serious are you? I have never attacked you. I think you may have erroneously thought that I was making some kind of negative comment to you, but I haven't ever had that kind of intent when interacting with you. I've made joke posts or just normal conversation with you, but I wouldn't post something just to try to get you mad. I like you despite your dislike of me. Is this you Jiz? I've kind of have had it with the crap on that board and certain people.
