- I can't stress it enough to these companies - you can't tailor make something for me by what I am sending or searching. Its only going to aggravate me - TwinkLander Jan 24, 14:04 14
  - They can try to target me all they want. AdBlockPlus means I never see their ads, so it's irrelevant whether they know me or not. - TWuG Jan 24, 14:20 1

        interesting - okay I am going to pay attention and see what it says. may be they do know me? - TwinkLander Jan 24, 14:25
