re-frame my statement in its original context...

when forms are specifically saying that they are gonna sell your 
email address, and you need to get past them to see something or 
do something, i choose to enter the info instead of walking away...

so, to answer your questions:

- yes.  which is the point.
- the form said so with its privacy statement.  which is why i would 
do it.
- now, that would be a different form, wouldn't it?

i know what you're getting at, i just think you missed the context of 
my statement is all...
