[LINK] Links Which Don't Where They Say They Do

[Tom Worthington]

Australian Ethical Investment (AEI) donates 10% of pre-tax profits to 
good causes. As a shareholder, each year I get an email with a link to 
allow me to vote for the projects to receive grants.

That makes me feel good, but when I placed my cursor over the AEI web 
address in theit email to vote,a different web address appeared 
("http://australianethical.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=02761e9...").

Is it ethical for a company, particularly one with a strong emphasis on 
ethics, to track its shareholders in this way?
