They are just tooooo loooong. I have tried to read them in the past but by the time I'm finished, I forgot what the heck I was buying. I've only had one bad experience buying something online at a place called CD Universe. It was years ago. If I remember correctly, someone hacked their system and took a bunch of customer info (addresses and credit card numbers) and then created a webpage displaying all of the customer information. I remember getting a letter from CD Universe approximately 3 or 4 months after the fact but I had already closed my credit account after learning about the hack job online. I heard on the news recently (within the past month) about a couple of computers taken from Ford Motor Co. that contained all personal/private data on thousands of employees--both working and even some no longer working for the company. The info contained their social security numbers, adresses, banking info (if they had direct deposit), etc.... Wonder whatever happened with that? I never heard a follow-up story.
