I think there are alternatives, which are less dangerous to people's
privacy.
For example, when you sign up, P&C will issue you a serial number (perhaps
combination of name+number, like hotmail did) which you are requested to
use in your future dealings with P&C. And you'll want to use the issued
serial number so that you'll not receive double mailings due to duplicate
references in their database.
