Everything on that page can be found on this forum. Most people on ddf aren't freezing for identity theft purposes,  but rather for an entirely different agenda.

No, I also froze mine strictly for DD purposes, however once I stumbled on that stone I figured I might keep it that way for security. If I recall AsherO keeps them frozen for that reason.
