Ouch. True, but you missed Innovis-the fourth, soon (I expect) to be one of the Big Three. A kinder interpretation is that EFX decided that they'd pissed people off enough already, and should make it easy to freeze-they also stopped charging for it even in states like mine where they're allowed to do so. Innovis also doesn't charge, but I expect that's because they're relatively small, can't afford to irritate people. Not saying that EFX deserves this interpretation, just sayin' that it's possible. ...phsiii ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
