The name meme: WARNING

Many password protected sites use a "confidential question" to make sure you are who you say your are. Some of these questions include your mother's maiden name, a pet's name, a favorite color. This is some of the same information the name-meme is asking.

Am I the only one who thinks this is a problem?

as i commented back, i HAD thought of that. but i don't USE any of those obvious answer-choices in my security questions or account questions for that exact reason because those things are too easy to research.

at least it's good to know i'm not the only paranoiac on the block. ;)
