Among financial institutions, split passwords are becoming more and more
common.  I now find split passwords at a small community bank's Web site

before asking for my password, although I have not tested to see if this
is true.

On occasion, I might filter and ignore all newsgroup messages
posted through GoogleGroups via Google's G2/1.0 user agent
because of spam from that source.
