OH, my effing G! Look what I found when I went to Air

[patdem]

America! It always comes up because I erase cookies regularly. "Take a few moments to tell us a little about yourself"

Zip code: 20007 DOB: Sept 8, 1953 E-mail Addy: deleted because of a reasonable request (.ch)

THIS IS NOT ME! I found out Zip Code 20007 is Washington DC? Am I being spied upon? What is .ch in an email addess? China?

2. Hey - here's an idea

It included the link to their email - send them a note and ask them who they are. Ya never know - they may answer! Hmmmm....

"Thanks for writing. I am a secret operative in China and the U.S. pays me to steal information from people who patronize pacifist terror-loving organizations.
Do you belong to myspace.com? My screen name there is 'OffshoreSpy' - maybe we can hook up later?"

Hee, hee!

4. lmao!

[patdem]

6. That is too funny, I might cut and paste just for gufaws!

Thanks for the idea. I am just not clever enough to think of zingy things like that!

[kittenpants]

3. What was it exactly? Like a pop up on Air America's site?

And it had someone else's info in it already?

[patdem]

5. Yes, I have to fill it out each time I erase my cookies..this time

that info showed up...freaked me right out...I love the idea to write to him/her with bogus info!

[flpoljunkie]

7. They have a problem, and they need to fix it.

[havocmom]

8. One would think. OP might consider an email to the webmaster

We wouldn't want other site visitors to have their info come up on people's computers.

9. Are you at a public computer (like a library or internet cafe)?

[patdem]

10. I would not be freaked if I was at a public computer..I am at home

in my office and no one has access to this cepte me and my husband.

13. I just checked out the scripts that are running on that "online radio"

page...

The first one is "airamericaradio.com", the second is "advertising.com" and the third is "doubleclick.net".

Here's the first url: http://www.advertising.com/home.php

The second one is http://www.doubleclick.com/us/

It's advertising data that Air America is most likely selling about their users to these companies. I'd like to know what doublclick and advertising.com are going to do with our IP/zipcode/email addresses information. Not to mention, the cookies will probably allow them to see where we are browsing.

Kind of sucks that of all people doing this in a sneaky fashion that it's Air America Radio. Figures.

11. Did you enter airamericaradio or airamerica? There used to be a

difference?

[patdem]

15. It is the same one I click every day. It is in my favorites.

I do not know why this just popped up, but I did conctat AAR and deleted the email addy for the person who probably had no idea why their name is on MY computer's cache?

[glitch]

12. it could be aar web error.

edit: thanks!

[file83]

14. Yeah, at least remove the part before the "@" symbol...

If you leave it on the post, webbots will gobble up that email link at spammers will start bombing that poor person's email address.

[patdem]

16. agreed, it was thoughtless of me to include it...but I was FREAKED!

have updated my post to remove it...except the .ch at the end. Thanks!

[glitch]

17. at this point freaked is a reasonable state! nt
