    I had to explain this similar concept to a co-worker who always puts his tracking info in his parts orders. He didn’t understand until I started asking him about firearms parts he had been browsing on his own Amazon account.

    His links are now sufficiently sanitized.

      Hold on… how were you able to find out about his amazon browsing habits from a tracking code? I thought end-users wouldn’t have that information but only amazon themselves (+ their 391712 friends).

        The firearms parts he was viewing were suggested to me as things people you know are interested in. He talks about it all the time, so I have him a hard time on the patriotic-sounding names to the parts.
