Not because I don't agree with the petition.
They want to know too much information about me, it could be 'Data Harvesting'...Stand by for some nuisance emails and phone calls....
You're right, of course.
When I signed it I did think it unusual for them to ask for so much information, but naively assumed it was to confirm correct and valid identity.
If it happens that I receive a load of junk, I am quite prepared!
Physical junk mail is not a problem; we already receive loads of it but, fortunately, our council has provided a special blue bin specially for junk mail.
Phone calls? Again not a problem. We have an answer machine which intercepts all calls. If we hear a genuine caller respond, we pick up. Anyone else either leaves a message (which we routinely delete every day) or doesn't bother.
Email? Virtually all junk email finds itself diverted to my Spam folder which, again, is emptied every day.
