The Internet is combed by computer programs called "spiders" whose responsibility it is to collect personal information about people. This information includes email addresses, mailing addresses, telephone/fax numbers, and more. To help prevent this from happening to my information, I protect the information with a code that only a human being can easily get around. In order to fool optical character recognition "spiders," I twist and ripple the letters. A person should still be able to make them out; however a computer program trying to decipher the code should be thwarted.

There are only two lower case letters, the ones in the third and sixth positions. Characters in the second, fifth, and last position are numeric.
