I agree with you. What particularly irritates me is when I get cold-called asking for my opinion for free. It bugs me, because if their doing this, you know a good deal of people out there are just giving away their info for nothing. People need to realize that market research is dependant upon consumer opinion and demographics, and somebody needs to let these companies know their not going to prosper without paying dues where dues are deserved You think their would be some regulating body for this? Sort of like consumer rights or something. But companies seem to just run wild with this, getting information however they can. It's mind-boggling how people just throw away a commoditty that everyone inherently possesses. Their should be, at least, some education site telling people the value of their opinion. I think education is the key here
