It was not intended as such, this is indeed serious research by people
who know what they are doing.  Where you became overenthousiastic was
when you wanted to experiment with other people's resources without
their explicit approval.

That's why I suggested opt-out rather than opt-in.  We tell people what
we want to do and why it won't have any negative effects.  If somebody
is still not convinced, he can opt-out.  The people neutral or in favour
do not have to do anything.
