So, this at least has an answer... if you have it enabled on your account, Amazon will email you about products you've bought or sometimes even just looked at. It's worded as the question someone else posed, so some 60 year old woman gets a "does this steering wheel cover fit my Ferd Fteenthirty?" In an email, and she writes back "I don't know. I don't own that truck." And Amazon scoops the reply and posts it as an "answer".
Yeah, I would really like to see them either stop doing that or make it very clear in their email that you should only respond if you know the answer to the question.
The email does say that, people do it anyway.
I once bought a few bits via my 60 year old father's Amazon and he'd forward these emails to me and then ask if I was helpful when we saw eachother in person.
It got better. The mails don't look like personal mails anymore and the amount of "I don't know" answers dropped.
