HARD TO HIDE

Scott Semens writes: "This is off topic, but how do other
collectors keep their addresses secret? I always used a
different name for local utilities, a P.O. Box, and didn't link
my real name with my street address except for friends and
neighbors, whom I cautioned to keep the information mum.
Today, however, anyone can look up a street address on
the internet from a phone number, and your phone number
is liable to to out to brokers whenever you order something
by phone. You can't open a checking account or buy a
house (even one you don't live in) without giving a street
address, thanks to the Patriot Act. I just don't see how
anyone can keep an address secret nowadays."
