And, how many times have you moved without telling anybody your address or filled out a change of address form? As a German that has lived in both countries, I find it amusing that Americans would complain about it. Thinking that it's really that much different. But everybody pretty much fills out a change of address form.

In the end it's known where you live. Only if you're a tinfoil hat kind of guy and want to live as a hermit in a shack in Montana.
