I think I initially got them the wrong way around at least once when typing. It's a bad idea in software to have identifiers that are similar at the start because the fingers too easily slip into typing the wrong one whilst the brain's moved on to thinking about what's next. I think standards and protocols can also make the same mistake, increasing the cognitive overhead in remembering all the terms as they're learnt. I expect `Triple A' here had too much appeal to describe Corroborating the claimed identity, Permitting the user's actions, and Tallying their usage. :-) -- Cheers, Ralph. -- Next meeting: BEC, Bournemouth, Tuesday, 2019-04-02 20:00 Check to whom you are replying Meetings, mailing list, IRC, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread, don't hijack: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk
