Novell's bugzilla requires my phone number, mailing address, security questions, etc. :-( If it was only my name and e-mail, that wouldn't be any issue whatsoever, but it isn't. See: https://secure-www.novell.com/selfreg/jsp/createAccount.jsp?target=https%3A//bugzilla.novell.com/ichainlogin.cgi%3Ftarget%3Denter_bug.cgi%3Fproduct%253DSUSE%252520Linux%25252010.1 There is absolutely *NO* need for Novell to require my phone number or physical address so I can report a bug. The only reason they need that stuff is so they can 1) call me, 2) send me junk mail, or 3) sell my contact information to a third party; none of which I am interested in having happen.
