My very personal opinion: I loathe giving out my phone number to anonymous corporate entities. I do it from time to time, but never without a bristle. I would prefer if we weren't asking for it, but I'm engaged in an opitimization exercise, or you might look at it as minimization of evil. Whatever.
What's the big deal here? I gave netscape my work number, my work address when I downloaded the us netscape. Give them some number that isn't private. sheesh. i criticized netscape for not doing the export-controlled download in the past, and now they are doing it. they deserve to be congratulated. They're doing good things for the state of security on the net. -- Sameer Parekh Voice: 510-986-8770 Community ConneXion, Inc.
