The creepy data-mining banks were a bit of a revelation. I haven't run into that one...yet. I have been asked for answers to questions about financial matters (ie: other dealings I might have had, like loans etc...those are easy, because they're always "none of the above") but never about something like where I lived when I was 5. Sheesh.

WOW! One of the posters mother's name is exactly the same as mine! I won't mention the name here, for security and family-oriented' reasons, of course... Talk about a small world! I didn't even know I had another brother!
