> they try to do me a "service" by giving it away, they should ASK me.

You realize this is a voluntary service you sign up for? They make it clear the reasons for doing it.

I agree it's voluntary, which is why I don't do it.

But no, they don't make it clear that they will GIVE my new address to people. It's FAR from clear.

They should have a service that does mail forwarding without handing out new address to people.

They even provide a link to the NCOALink page explaining how the COA DB program works.
