Re: [Dataloss] Data breach alerts linked to increased risk of ID theft

And I once read (in Science News magazine, IIRC) about a government-funded study that showed that unemployed 
blue-collar men who drink apparently tend to beat their wives. I don't recall reading how many of our tax dollars 
funded that particular study, however.

I just love it when the "experts" speak... :-p

Oh and, by the way, a study from an auto insurance research group has discovered that "high-speed impact of autos into 
concrete walls increases the chance of damage to the vehicles involved..." ;-)
