I tend to agree with the Moderator on this one. I know that when I
recently moved to Milwaukee, I was asked just about everything about
my life history that I can remember in order to get phone service.  :-)

I even had to send in a $40 deposit prior to placement of the order.
This was BEFORE they would complete the order processing, not before
they would turn on the phone.

What a world, what a world.
