This requires jumping through lots of hoops to go see, including a ton 
of required questions, and then multiple screens full of offers to sign 
up for magazines, mailing lists, etc.  I did my usual response: throw 
sand in their gears by lying like a rug on the form, and at the 
earliest opportunity tell them that if they had given me fewer hoops to 
jump through, I might have given them the truth.  I encourage y'all to 
do likewise.  (NOTE: this idea is NOT in any way endorsed by my 
employer, ISP, spouse, dog, etc.!)

Those of you who provide links to such articles in the future, please do 
us the favor of including either the article text, or a link to 
somewhere we can Just Read The Damn Thing.  Thanks!

[Ed. Yes, I had to jump through those same hoops.  To those quoting
sites that require registration, please at least warn us about the
registration requirement.  It would certainly be appreciated.  KRvW]
