@Jody_Seal are you saying collecting data is a new thing. I'm pretty sure it's been going on since we were born. What your moms maiden name, the last 4 numbers of your social. Your phone gps, google maps, waze, alexa, siri. Who cares. For better or worse it's the world we live in. Remember when you read newspapers and encyclopedias. Or no spell ck. I'm not saying saying everything that's new is better. But one thing is for sure, there's no time machine to turn back the clocks to yester-year.
I would hate to see you and @MS quit skiing tourneys but in the end it's your choice.
