The other day in the mail, there was this letter from IRI-Information Resources, Inc., saying "you have been chosen to become a member of an exclusive research panel called Shopper's Hotline."
The gist of the letter was that if I joined, I would be sent a scanner, and was to scan everything I buy (OK, I won't scan the CD of "William Shatner-the Transformed Man
)and in exchange for the wealth of information I would provide on my shopping habits, I would be rewarded with what sounded like oodles and oodles of fantastic rewards.
Anyone?
