   I use to require it in the dial-up days, now with telnet it's
better to only get a real sounding name (for fidonet reasons) and the
real place (for my users & my curiosity). I stopped asking for street
addresses, phone numbers and e-mail addresses because of the vast
abuse of that information by others.
   I find my feedback message request dose a good job weeding out the
jerks. I don't have the time to verify the information and work on my
board on the same time.
  I don't give my real phone number, email address, or mail address.
Just my real name and location.
