Yes, and in my area, obtaining an EIN is quickly followed up by the City and County wanting you to pay your business licenses, inspect your site, pay taxes on business property, get a state sales tax number and start submitting state sales tax quarterly reports. No thank you. Been there and fought that battle already.
Same thing when filing a DBA, Flash.

Keep in mind that many MSCs will not allow you to enter an EIN on their forms either.
