The reason is simple. If you live in a high crime area some people join those clubs to acquire personal information. If you do join and all memebers have access to you name, address, have coins at home and they now know you are at the meetings on certain times and days, you can guess what is next. If all such information is put into a computer, then the files can be accessed by who knows who. </p><p>If your in a high crime area you would find not a real lot of people join such clubs and if they do it is only if you do not have to give out personal information.
