It is if you are trying to run from someone who's liable to pluck your address out of a public database (like the one the FCC runs) and come after you, possibly with murderous intent. It is if the government persists in misgendering you because hating you is politically fashionable in some circles. I'm not arguing that it's conceptually difficult, but "That Hobby Where The Government Publishes Your Home Address" might be unpopular for reasons beyond the difficulty of understanding the hobby's conceptual level.

Have a wonderful day, and have faith most are lazier than they are evil =)
