Well, I think what you have to fear is that they have your e-mail
address! (otherwise you wouldn't be getting the discussion group mail,
right?) It may be fun to give them bogus marketing info like age,
income, etc, etc, but that is a non-issue once they have your e-mail
address and are sending you the legitimate reflector traffic, it would
seem they also have your e-mail address for...surprise!...Spam! Even if
they don't use it directly, I'm not sure that they wouldn't sell the
e-mail list to others.
