I would bet it was for some sort of verification. USR was such a nice
guy company in the early years that a large number of people came up
with schemes to scam them. Many worked. USR started to get a little
over cautious, sometimes doing things that made no sense on the
surface, but some of the plans proved to be wise. Maybe this was one
of them.
