>Is it? You're making a very bold claim here and stating it as fact, as if it's somehow self-evident. It isn't, though.

Okay. Please post your full name, physical address, telephone number(s), employer, spouse and childrens' names, ages and birth dates.

If it's not a negative, you should have no problem doing so, right?
