Is anyone thinking what I am thinking? Maybe I am the last to know?
Companies must subscribe to services that scan the net looking for
keywords...kick them to the proper subscriber? sort of a mini CIA?
I well understand that all our browsing is followed...by a host of
services that fill our mail box with goods and services from
subscribers...or worse...!! Herb

Big Brother is watching.
Makes one feel violated.
I have been a member of the Kolb List for 17+ years. First time I have
experienced anything like this. I always felt our List was more or less
private, although not technically so.
Nothing like being bugged.
Is Aircraft Spruce a member of the Kolb List?

You should feel violated, because Big Brother is definitely watching,
but his name ain't Aircraft Spruce. He's much more of a Patriot (Act).
You don't need some sophisticated NSA grade web crawler to find
references to a particular item or company; it's built into every decent
email client and forum application. I'd be surprised if there weren't
Spruce employees that at least read the archives, along with a lot of
other vendors who sell to homebuilders. Don't you think that someone
from TNKolb is reading? I know that Van's Aircraft guys monitor lists
and forums dedicated to RV's. They don't hype their stuff; they offer
assistance and occasionally offer corrections if incorrect info shows up.
It's in any vendor's best interest to monitor lists like this, because
we're going to tell our friends what (and who) works and what (and who)
doesn't. And it's usually in our best interest, as well, because most
vendors will use that info to make improvements in their products or
service.
Just another opinion....

I don't believe they are "monitoring" websites, like all good businesses they have services (web crawlers) that notify them when their name is mentioned in any web text. You could get the same service on your name and every time someone mentioned your name on the web, they would send you a link to where it was mentioned. Its not like they have to sit and read all the forums to see who is saying what about them.
FWIW

What I thought...Some sort of subscription service..
for instance,,,if my 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee was rear ended and the
gas tank exploded, perhaps Fiat,Chrysler would like to know..
Herb--out to the newly cleaned garage to cover Firefly wings...should
keep me of of the list and out of trouble/controversy for a while...

I agree Charlie, this doesn't rise to the level of big brother with me, so much worse things to get my panties twisted over.
