i think a related point is one we all know well, that being if there is a will, there is a way.. we've seen it with phoney physicians and specialists, even, with certificates and physicians' licenses.. if someone wants to intercept corespondence and impersonate another person, it is easy enough if that person has the time and impetus..

When I was a teenager I read /The Great Impostor/, the autobiography of Fred Demara(sp?). It was an eye-opener. Demara posed as all sorts of people. He didn't read any books on the subject of identity, he just invented his own techniques. Because he was always learning, he was always getting caught. Each failure, however, just made his next effort that much better. Read it if you can find it; it's facinating. S a n d y ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
