That sounds pretty draconian, based on a flimsy premise **, and considering the usery banks are often accused of, not a very strong moral position either. For example if they paid more attention to merchants checking that the card user is the card owner they'd have a fair bit less misappropriated funds to reimburse Surely the bank has, or should have, all the verification procedures for them to know that it is _you_ using _your_ account to have a transaction with a merchant of _your_ choice ** sounds like corporate myth, such as cellphones causing fires in gas stations, so you aren't allowed to use them there. No signs up about the provable dangers of common static electricity though Based on what's been said on the WU subject, I don't feel quite as unsure as I did. I'll look into the fees though Thanks all -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
