If you can do time-series of spam arrival and your own pharmacy purchases / prescription dates, you might note the targeting. If you find that you're getting a steady stream of painkiller spam, it's just your own awareness filters tripping. \r\n\r\n Or did you have something else in mind? --\r\n Karsten M.

I really believe that there is a causal connection between me buying drugs at Walgreens and receiving spam for the same drugs - what would be great would be to expose them, sting them some way, and apply some legal force to it. There must be lawyers around who specialize in this sort of thing. I know nothing of the front lines in the war for privacy - you seem to know a great deal. -drl

Though there's some reading and research that goes along with it. I know where I'd like to be working, though I'm not sure how to make a go of it. \r\n\r\n [link\|http://www.epic.org/\|EPIC], the Electronic Privacy Information Center, might be your first stopping place. --\r\n Karsten M.
