   "Some browsers actually hand over your email address or other
   indications of your identity. In your case it appears the
   ``HTTP From'' variable was not provided, and the ``REMOTE_USER''
   variable was not provided.

   The identity of a small percentage of surfers is disclosed by the
   ``REMOTE_IDENT'' variable; you can use our check on whether you are
   being revealed. This test is (quite rightly) blocked by many firewalls;
   just interrupt the transfer if you get an abnormal wait after clicking."


In any case, I use this (JunkBusters proxy), and it would block the
information your marketing people wanted -- or send it after munging
it; as another said, I could hit the site an provide someone else's
e-mail address.

Let me know if the do somehow get this implemented. I'd like to visit
the site 30-40 times a day and pass msds_suggestions at msdssolutions.com
as my e-mail address.
