That's not what I asked. I asked that if you did register your Reader, how would that impact you? What would happen that you would notice and be bothered by?

Regarding your second sentence: I'm not only motivated by things that have a direct, measurable consequence for myself. I'm willing to go to some inconvenience and expense for issues that mainly impact others, or impact society as a whole, or impact future generations. Not necessarily a lot of inconvenience and expense -- I'm not claiming to be some paragon of altruism. I just want to point out that if you're asking only about direct impact on myself, you're ignoring part of what motivates me.

How would your registering effect future generations? It wouldn't. Society as a whole? Nope. And how would you know what impacts others when registering? And just how do you think you are protecting others by not registering? And to say you are protecting future generations, that's just silly to me.

I didn't ask about others. I asked about what impacts you if you were to register.
