I'm sorry Mike, did you just say "If I *start* getting spam"? You don't
currently receive any spam? How do you rate? Is Mr. Jim Casey going to
digitally sign the ones you will get as a result of this web page?

What good, exactly, does a firstname-lastname and logged IP address do for
Mr. Jim Casey anyway? That is not quite the same as a valid email address.
Add the state and year of birth...and it seems like that's not quite enough
to get into identity theft either. One would hope. Am I missing something?
