Well said. I also stopped half way through this lengthy form.

As noted in the posting this was a Softhome system. I for one got
angry at Softhome a couple of years ago when they instituted that
long signup form. Even with existent and well behaving accounts they
still required me and everyone else to register again - but this time
on that long form that I felt was extreme. I refused at the time and
gave up about 4 or 5 softhome.net accounts.
Well, I checked out this SeniorGlobe Popper and it too required your
filling out a long, extreme form. I stopped dead right there and
never completed the signup.
I felt when Softhome instituted their new policy a couple of years
ago that it was intrusive and delved too deeply into our privacy.
Even if I were predisposed to falsify my profile, it just was too
long. It was not worth my time, especially since I know of many
alternative sources for free remote pop3 services that don't require
you to give up your privacy and dignity at the same time.
