Pumeco, you've gone from what you've heard on conspirowhacko's paradise, to paranoia at it's worst.  What information is available on me, on line, I really  could give a shit less about, just not much less.  Name, address, phone number, occupation and who I worked for, big deal.  For whatever use they get out of it, it doesn't cost me anything an isn't going to make them a fortune without half a million more names.  And that's all public information anyhow, no problem about anyone getting it.  Background, if they want to pay for it, that's possible, but I hardly think two traffic tickets is going to give them much to work with.  Credit card, I don't use that on line, I'll look up what I want then phone in the order,  but only with people I trust.  Credit card is too easy anyhow, one call and say you didn't authorize the purchase and you won't pay for it. 

But as paranoid as you are, that only says you have something to hide.  None of the big companies are making squat on your information, maybe pennies per year or you're on a spam or mailing list.  Big deal.  "They're" out to get you.  Be afraid, be very afraid.  In the meantime, we can have a few laughs at you, not with  you.
