[LEFT]\*\*The Scenario: \*\*You’re using a seemingly reputable website for the first time and are considering using the company’s services/products. They have an online, interactive tool that interests you, but when you try to use it you are asked to create a user account that not only asks for an email address (which it will validate) but also requires a mailing address. What would you do?

\*\*Also: \*\*Does anyone know a source for statistics on abandon rates based on the amount of/content of required fields on websites? (Or have any strongly held personal opinions on the topic?)[/LEFT]
