I once enquired into the question Do licensed locksmiths burgle?
The answer, as a practical matter, turns out to be no. Selection presumably plays a part. Convicted burglars may well find it hard to obtain a locksmith's license. There is something else at work too. As George Orwell mentioned in his novel Burmese Days, colonial administrators were not expected to be fearful; and so in general they were not. Sysprogs, even disgruntled ones, have not usually been problematic in mainframe shops; and it is well that this is the case. Anyone who makes much use of locks needs locksmiths too. -- John Gilmore, Ashland, MA 01721 - USA ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
