opened one for several years. I can find things so much more quickly on
the web page and I think all the information in the book is there. I know
there are advertisements in there so I don’t know if the directory is a monetary
profit or a loss. I know I personally wouldn’t miss it. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

footprint, and misuse of our trees, I tend to scan everything and keep the

in Quicken. Society talks about becoming paperless but lawyers, banks and
the government keep cranking it out. I have stopped getting hard copies
of my bank statements, credit card statements etc. Where I work paper memos
are nearly a thing of the past as everything comes by email.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>I shred my bills (usually after
paying), credit card solicitations, anything I print but don't use that has a
client's name/addr/phone, but I'm not going to overload my shredder (much less
take the time) to shred the PTG directory... but I did consider it. <br>
<br>
I'm not so concerned with identity theft, per se, from the PTG directory as I
am about it being a resource for spam e-mailers and snail-mailers, but I don't
think that THEY go thru our trash the way ID thieves do. There isn't any
information that's especially useful to ID thieves.<br>
<br>
I do remove the spiral because I'm not sure if it's recyclable. Actually,
that's about the only time I open it... when I'm prepping it to recycle after
the new one arrives. What year is this?? In the Internet age, I think
it's a big waste of paper and all the associated resources that go along with
paper production. I'd be all for abolishing it in favor of an online version...
most (all?) of the info is online already. I'm sure there are techs that are
still without Internet access... possibly a scaled-down version could be made
available to them... maybe on phonebook-like paper... and/or make it a purchase
option. <br>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:13.5pt'>I finally got my PTG
directory a couple of weeks ago. It seems to be very late this year but I can't
really remember when it usually comes. Last year I shredded all of the parts
that included names, addresses. With Identity theft such a huge problem I feel
reluctant to throw every ones names and personal information in the trash.
However it is a form of advertisement, and all of our names are listed on the
website are they not? Not sure about the addresses though.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
