(thin smile...)  I shall never permit our product to do anything but its
very best for anyone's table, if it chooses to take-on processing that
table.  Modifying data, adding passwords, or anything of the sort is

some unusual market characteristics formed by the nature of what it does
and the fact that it is often picked-up like a fire extinguisher .. when
there IS a fire.

tried it on I decide it simply does not fit ...
