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>

<div><font size="4">Hey Now to all,</font></div>
<div><font size="4"></font> </div>
<div><font size="4">I have been behind on my list reading. Last weekend I got close to caught up, then yesterday I was 30 behind again. I must say it certainly has been entertaining to say the least. I don't know if I'm dyslexic but sometimes my fingers don't type the letters in the right sequence. That's why most email programs have spell checkers I think????</font></div>

<div><font size="4">My question for the group today.</font></div>
<div><font size="4"></font> </div>
<div><font size="4">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.</font></div>
<div><font size="4"></font> </div>
<div><font size="4">So whatcha all think? Do you shred the old directory or not?</font></div>
<div><font size="4"></font> </div>
<div><font size="4">Just wondering.</font></div>

<div><font size="4">Hope to see all of my friends on the list in Anaheim!!!</font></div>
