"Your computer is attempting to send SSN over the internet"

Weird,

I am getting this alert through Norton Internet Security when trying to access the "AJs - playing hard or hardly playing thread"

Anyone else?

Fine. This is, at least, what I think it is.

It's the URL, mostly the part that says "&Number=", which sends 7 digits identifying the thread. Combined with the following numbers it can falsely alarm particular firewalls that SSN info is being processed (sometimes it only takes 6-7 digits to alarm anyway), and on an unsecure line. Obviously this is not happening, but it's quite easy for an individual now to reconstruct the SSN. :/

That's not funny. In fact, its the type of thing you don't go posting on the internet.
