Yea, one of which being Bidvertiser! I don't like anyone knowing my common passwords, especially when my name and email is linked to it. I don't care if it's the CEO of Bidvertiser or what so I keep that password completely different than any of my normal array of passwords..

You may wonder how I know they store the passwords in plain text, or at least a reversible encryption... Just do a "forgot password" request... Instead of sending you a new randomly generated password they send you your current password.
