I did come up with a date that I'll remember but doesn't relate to my 
b-day.

The next thing they wanted, with no way of ignoring, is a photo. So, I 
dug into my collection of photos and found one, not of me, but of an 
animal. That finally was enough personal data of mine for them to let me 
in and start putting ads in my face. I found I could get rid of those by 
picking one of the contacts, which provides the last message thread I 
had with that person. Since I don't use it for anything else, I'm 
reasonably happy with the result. Thanks for the random b-date idea.
