I think the birthday wishes are great but having worked most of my career in identity, fraud and risk applications I would caution you to limit any data you leave online. Gender, birthdate and zip code are sufficient to identify most folks uniquely. Just a word of caution.
For reference: https://dataprivacylab.org/projects/ide ... paper1.pdf
Using the 1990 census information:
It was found that 87% (216 million of 248 million) of the
population in the United States had reported characteristics that likely made them unique based
only on {5-digit ZIP, gender, date of birth}
Be careful with your info

Re: Be careful with your info
True,I have removed my birth day from all the modeling forums that I am registered with,birthday greetings are nice,but better to be safe.Also if I order anything on line,I never save my card to the site in case they have a breach,not sure if it matters,but can't hurt.
Re: Be careful with your info
Yeah...I me ant to add my hickles worth the other day.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
