Many people on IP responded -- thanks again.
Several asked why I was seeking the information, and I replied it was for a short essay in a magazine. That prompted requests for copies.
The magazine (Information Security) issue (October) has appeared. The essay is short, but I hope it provokes some thought.
Here is the essay: <http://searchsecurity.techtarget.com/magazineFeature/0,296894,sid14_gci1332733_idx10,00.html >.
(And yes, they had to scrape the bottom of the barrel to put my picture on the cover. :-)
