We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

The scanner at the grocery store or drug store was used to facilitate quick check out so that the cashiers did not have to type in every item. Now the system also collects data on each customer and when you buy a certain quantity of groceries or toiletries a coupon is automatically printed. The coupon congratulates you for spending a certain quantity of money at the store and offers the coupon with an expired date (of course) as a thank you.
