Why does The Eyeopener need so much from me?

The Eyeopener is Ryerson University’s student newspaper. Like other university newspapers (not McMaster though) it is updated online and allows comments to be left if you have an account. To create an account though you must provide:

  • Username [OK]
  • Password [OK]
  • First & Last name [WHAT?]
  • E-mail [OK]
  • Birthday [WTF?]
  • Postal/Zip Code [WTF? x 2]
  • Province/State [WTF? x 3]
  • Country [WTF? x 4]

Also to accept some terms an conditions. I understand some of the fields required but whiskey tango foxtrot guys, why do you need my postal code? Brock’s paper doesn’t.
