I rather suspect that the website issue is due to the use of a popular software application, which had better remain nameless, which I have the misfortune to use at work. It's very widely used, I believe, by online retailers, including at least one of the best-known, and can be blamed for the 'you may also be interested in [something entirely unrelated]' messages, amongst many other things. It's the most illogical and unintiuitive thing that could ever be devised, not least because the UK version has a number of modules, each of which was translated from German by a different team, and uses different terms for the same items. An absolute abomination IMHO!
