Amazon Mailings

I realize when you shop for stuff on Amazon, you get sent emails based on your past purchases. "As someone who has bought the collected works of Rufus T. Firefly, you might enjoy these other books by crooked lawyers..."

They also appear to send email based on stuff you've just looked at, casually. "As someone who has shown an interest in Bavarian flugal horns..."

But I can't understand the one I got this morning: "As someone who has shown an interest in woodworking tools..." I swear I have never looked at a woodworking tool on Amazon or anywhere else. Oh, well, maybe I looked at some music which featured a song about awls.
