Question: Why wouldn't they?johnnail said:Stupid question:
Why would people do this?
I guess I'm too old-school and private for the modern age.
Because it just seems like data mining to me. The end of the private life. The only reason I'm not a hermit, is that people know where I live. ::009::bvail said:Question: Why wouldn't they?
I wouldn't call it that, since publishing relevant data is up to the person, not like using a grocery club card, credit card or purchasing from Amazon dot com. Now that's data mining. Pretty hard to live the life of a spook these days and I don't have anything to hide so I don't care one way or the other. ::018::johnnail said:Because it just seems like data mining to me.

I think you have to look at the reason the list was started - I don't know, but I'm guessing you weren't among the early pre-orders? If you were you'd know the level of anticipation and yes, antsy-ness, created by the long wait, and then the longer wait after the Japanese tsunami. Originally we expected a number of shipments, with (hopefully) first orders delivered first. The list was an attempt to track what bikes were where, from which you could speculate where yours was!johnnail said:Stupid question:
