You may also want to sign the petition calling for the site to use https
 instead of http! As it is, there is no guarantee the site is owned by
who you think it it and you are transmitting personal information over
an unencrypted link.

Of course, that might mean you don't want to sign anything on the site!

Regards,
Tony.
