DO NOT PAY MONEY to ECCIE FOR PREMIUM ACCESS

Yep

don't know if that is the point ... the point may be that using CC on Inet is becoming an identity theft issue. At least, with CC ... you can dispute charges you did not make ... never, NEVER use a debit card ... theft of that can clean out your bank account and there may be no recourse, as there is with CC.

I travel for work and only use a debit card. But I rub it as credit unless forced to do so otherwise.

And when you use a debit card as credit, it has the same protections as credit cards have.

As a reasonably infrequent hobbier, it is more cost effective to purchase PA.

I went the money order route after requesting an alternative method of payment. I received a prompt, courteous response to my original question, the payment transaction went as smoothly as silk. PA was set up very timely.

Extremely pleased with the entire transaction.

Yes... I watch too much detective related tv and keep up with technology. If you watch 48 hours and law and order you will see homicides are often tracked down by pre-paid credit cards or pre-paid cell phones purchased with credit cards. Also, try to avoid purchasing at a major retail like walmart or target because they might be able to track u down with their cameras and time of purchase since all items have bar codes...lot to think about.
