Well, then I have to take issue with this.

Who are you to say what the grandparent is cognizant of or not?

I for one do definitely not need advertising to tell me what I need, if I need advertising to tell me then I did not need it.

> And who are you to make that call for anyone other than yourself?

The call was made on behalf of at least on other person, but in fact that suggestion was never made in the first place.




While I generally hate being advertised to, there are certainly times when advertising has shown me things I didn't know existed but wanted to buy as soon as I did. Especially in the case of books.


I don't think we are using the word 'need' in the same way.
