- AMEN to that... Its amazing how much trouble can be caused by some gutless
- fool that lies because it supposedly isn't your business, or even to "protect"
- you, to not hurt you, etc... But that's another subject. :-)

- However, I was in Radio Shack two days ago buying a mosfet and some other
- assorted small, cheap parts. When I was walking up to the counter, I
- couldn't help but think about this subject thread and wonder whether the
- sales-droid was going to ask me my address, etc., especially since I was
- paying cash, and what I was going to tell him. (Its not like its that big
- of a deal, they already have it from a while back when I charged something).
-
- I was all ready for the question, and he hands me my change, the sack, and
- a receipt *WITHOUT* asking for ANY info.
-
- What a letdown... :-)
