[Jeff Williams]

Arshad and all,

  This is just lovely!  <sarcasim intended>  Now we have a host
of more potential ID Theft victims ripe for the picking.  But I am

anticipation of these  potentially new clients.  It seems that
poor security and data protection policies and laws are a
marketing tool for the litigation speciallists.

 Ah yes, the litigation possibilities abound anew!
Cha-Ching!  >;) <Sarcastic humor Intended>
