Why did you delete out my whole corporate user part of my e-mail? it was the
main emphasis of the e-mail. I personally don't focus consumer security, its
so boring. I'm interested in the security of employees, data and corporate
applications. The  only time consumer security comes into my focus is when
employees are using 'consumer accounts' as a means to communicate with
co-workers during vacation periods on e-mail, and even in work time,
corporate users on yahoo are actively using their 'consumer accounts' to
instant message each other. While the production infrastructure of the main
body of consumers may now be 'workable' with your example, its entirely
possible to have IPAR
http://skyways.lib.ks.us/KSL/libtech/accessks/ipar.html for consumer amd
corporate accounts linked to yahoo employees who are accessing the
'backyard' network from the corporate workstation and that of the corporate
user from a home workstation, to login to corporate infrastructure
interfaces. I guess you 'cut' paranpraghs if you agree with them on my
e-mails and 'keep' paragraphs which are weake. I infact looked at the
paragraph you highlighted for some 30 minutes inbetween multitasking to
decide weather it was worth mentioning a possible web interactive interface
for the comsumer community of the yahoo network, when my real focus was on
the 'backyard - corporate side' of security
