People "trade" for something. My wife runs a "closed" contest website (Contests open to QC residents only) and she, as well as hundreds of others, splash all their info around. It drives me nuts. She keeps asking me if she can use my name and birthdate and anything else in her contests so she has an extra chance to win! NO WAY! Mind you her and her and the "closed" circle have won nice amounts of money, trips, iPods, computers, concert tickets and everything else. But is it worth it? She says it is. I say no. BTW, she gives out the phone number here at least 20 times a day in contests and we get maybe 1 call per two weeks that's a telemarketer. We are not on the DNCL. weird. LOL, the funny part is that’s EXACTLY it.
