I have a related sort of problem:  If I were to meet someone in person,
I have no real identification that I could offer to prove who I am.
I've never had a driver's license, passport, or anything else that gets
a proper vetting before being issued to me.

Other things that could be used to sort of identify me aren't really
valid.  I browbeat the bank into letting me open an account, because I
had nothing that categorically proved who I am.  They gave in, as I'm
sure plenty of other places that do crap vetting will do.

During the process I gave them a bit of a berating about other things
they said they'll accept to identify me (a handful of bills addressed to
the same address, a birth certificate, etc.), all of which anybody could
steal from almost any house.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.  I
read messages from the public lists.
