Jay did, apparently (he mentioned income and marital status, which aren't 
even on Yahoo's form, though snail address and phone are).

We can't protect our email address unless we never post. Any evil 
corporation just subscribes, and collects the addresses of posters (and if 
those aren't somewhere in the header in order to protect against this, then 
we have no capability to reply to sender).
