I have two words to explain why some people are getting disatisfied with
LUGNET: “membership packet”
|
While we’re on this topic: To this day I have not become a member because I
simply can’t get past having to enter my postal address into the enrollment form
for LUGNET (presumably to get the mythical membership packet). I do not like to
give out personal information willy-nilly, and it bothers me that this
information is required for enrollment in an *online* community. I’m not
interested in getting anything in the mail (I already get far more of that stuff
than I need). Yeah, I know a lot of people are real lax in this regard (about
giving away private info) and would gladly supply social security number,
mother’s maiden name, drivers license, etc. to get logged on, but I don’t see it
that way, not in this age of identity theft and hackable servers. So, as a
rule, I try to give away as little personal info as possible, even if that means
sometimes I have to forgo certain activities.
Mark (sorry for the rant)
