Thanks for the heads up! I removed my information. I know it's not totally gone, but every little bit helps!

Earthman: I've used that signature for a long time. I use it on all the forums I frequent. You're the first one to comment on it. Previously, I used "Be thankful you don't get all the government you pay for." Which I think is equally as thought provoking.

Is that site Security protected? I would be leary if not, they may just trying to get your IP address and or Email Address, there are a lot of scammers out there has anyone check them out if they are legit.
