A Bugmenot for CultureCat
Yesterday on Drupal's support forum I proposed the idea of a bugmenot user account as a way for would-be commenters to avoid having to register. If you're not logged in right now, you should be able to see "register or login to post comments with username: nospam password: person" under each post and comment. I hope everyone who's not registered on a Drupal site will make good use of it.

bugmenot for privacy
Great name, bugmenot.
I read it and thought of ID theft.
Could I put a bugmenot notice on credit reports, so that if anyone who was tempted to give me a credit card couldn't while I had a bugmenot hold on credit report.
At first I thought, it would be great if bugmenot prevented them from even sending some form to be filled out for a credit card, which form could be swipped from my mailbox (which is at the end the driveway, on post).
But ccard offers don't come before checking credit reports; they come from mailing lists. It's impossible to scrub your name from all the lists out there that you're likely on, but why can't I as a consumer put on hold on any more credit being issued in my name via the credit agencies that financial institutions use to check my credit before giving out credit in my name and to my ss #?
