I don't see why there is a need for your numbers UNLESS that's how they get your name and address and then they sell that information to companies (can anymore say MORE JUNK MAIL????) it's a growing business, that whole sell your info. That's why if you buy even just a subscription to a magazine all of a sudden you get tons more offers in the mail for more shit you don't want. http://www.bakotopia.com/home/Blog/PaladinGamesNHobbies/14047/#c_134763 http://www.bakotopia.com/home/Blog/PaladinGamesNHobbies/14047/#c_134763 holy smokes. that's kinda scary.
