    Bah… you’re right. I’ve just become so disillusioned by the smoke and mirrors. So many critical systems protected by poorly managed file mazes and a prayer that Susan in accounting doesn’t get anything higher than the digital equivalent of a toddler slamming its face onto a keyboard several times email from bos$6&776ggjskbigman@poorlyspelledcompany.bendover because some 13 year old with computer access got clever.

    I’m a bit agitated atm, sorry about that.
