Re: OT: Frequency of SPAM

OH THAT... but that is just happening IN your client, in my case Firefox. When I open a mail (or write a mail) Indeed, gmail will display ads on the side bar and one small ad above the mail interface. But that is merely the page sending out a request to the google ad server thats tagged their ads with relevant keywords...
That  a whole other thing than Google "scanning you mails" as they are sent...

How do you know? Is this a known fact? Is there some proof of this (or even some paranoia fuels conspiricy would be an interesting read?)
Any links?

Not being sarky, genuinely interested
