It used to be completely normal, and profitable, to effectively advertise without personal information. The idea that this is now required for advertising is just wrong, and shouldn't be accepted as such

# This function takes a line i.e. $0, and treats it as a line of CSV, breakin
# it into individual fields, and storing them in the passed in field array. It
# returns the number of fields found, 0 if none found. It takes account of CSV
# quoting, and also commas within CSV quoted fields, but doesn't remove them
# from the parsed field.
# use in code like:
# number_of_fields = parse_csv_line($0, csv_fields)
# csv_fields[2] # get second parsed field in $0
function parse_csv_line(line, field, _field_count) {
_field_count = 0
# Treat each line as a CSV line and break it up into individual fields
