90% of users wont give their real information, just like back in the day!


+1 -- Leave it as is.  We never answered honestly back then, either.  :lol:

It's great to browse through the user info looking for the jokes.  
"21 Jump Street" was popular, though my usual choice was "555 No Way Pass" if I was being nice.  

If I wasn't, I'd pick a private joke identity like a teacher or neighbor I didn't happen to particularly like.  In fact, I'd often make the entire user as the teacher or neighbor I didn't like if I felt like stirring up trouble that call.   :lol:  

Also, (and this was advice for much more back in the day, rather than now) if you call to validate your users, make sure you sanity check phone numbers.  911-5105 isn't a number you want to automate dialing.  (911 is emergency in USA)  Trollin' in the 80's, yo.
