Re: Random Privacy
Interesting little article from http://pass.maths.org.uk/issue21/news/random_privacy/index.html: Excerpt: Right now, the rate of falsification on Web surveys is extremely high, says Dr Ann Coavoukian, the commissioner of information and privacy in Ontario, U.S.A. People are lying and vendors don't know what is false [or what is] accurate, so the information is useless.

Re: Tax consequences of becoming a US citizen.
years after you leave the U.S. tax scheme. (Yes, any U.S. citizen who moves anywhere in the world must, technically, file U.S. tax returns for 10 years after leaving. And pay various kinds of taxes, though the amount may be different from what he would have paid had he remained in the U.S.) Where did you find the 10 year limit information? AFAIK, US expatriates are subject to US taxes on their worldwide income as long as they remain US citizens, tax treaties and other exemptions notwithstanding. You are incorrect. Renouncing citizenship does not relieve most people who need relief from the burden. I think we're talking about two different things here. What I meant to say is every piece of information I've been able to find states that US citizens residing outside the US have to file tax returns and are subject to US tax laws for the rest of their lives. Whereas you stated that US citizens residing outside the US only have to file tax returns for 10 years after leaving the US, and I haven't seen that anywhere, despite extensive research on the issue since I'm a US citizen residing outside the US. My choice of the word 'expatriate' in my previous post was incorrect and for that I apologize. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] // RSA Key: 0x1606F91D // DSS Key: 0x83BB5BE4 When liberty is taken away by force it can be restored by force.
