I'm aware. Many forums have a "click here to verify that you're over 13" button. Requiring birthdates is excessive. (I very much prefer the sites that say "if you're under 13; send fax [here] with parental permission to join the site." But there are very, very few of those.)
I'm aware that many people don't mind handing out their birthdates to all the sites online that ask for them; shrug. I don't like giving out personal info unless I have to; I don't give it out to websites unless I believe I'll get back something that makes up for the erosion of my privacy.
I don't expect the EZreader forums to change to match my preferences. I don't expect to participate in them, either.
