FTA: "Consider the sign-up form on Yahoo. The visitors are provided only with the form which is required to set up an account. "
But the form asks for gender (are we parts of speech?), country AND postal code (can't country be derived from postal code?).
I think all that's needed to create an account is some unique means to identify the user, and some means to ensure access control. Asking for more than a name and password needs justification.
