I suspect there are at least 20,000 "Richard Smiths" in the U.S. To identify me specifically one needs some other information such as a birth year and a Zip code.Some of us aren't so lucky.

We should all call ourselves Richard Smith from now on... dave _______________________________________________ privacy mailing list privacy () whitestar linuxbox org http://www.whitestar.linuxbox.org/mailman/listinfo/privacy
