It requires giving your address. -----------------------------------------------

Nah, no real address needed. Just use 123 elm street abbeville alabama 36310. That's the first zip code I found on a site... ;-)

Putting in a fake address renders your data useless. Now -- under the Privacy Act, if they're collecting addresses I believe they had to do a Privacy Impact Assessment. --------------------------------------------- I don't like giving my address out to anyone that asks for it. I just wanted to sniff the traffic and see what was going on. I wasn't too concerned with being a valid data point. Cmon, I believe you know some security stuff and why I might chose to do that... ;-) scott ps. there's a helluva delay going on on the list today...
