They might be able to hide the data in the matrix, but I don't know how many
of them would. I mean, would you trust sensitive data to some blue host? ;)
And if you put it in a more secure host, what is to keep the sysop's of that
host from finding it? =)

I think there is nothing more secure than keeping it in your head,
literally. ;) To remove it, they've gotta take your head, and if it gets to
that point, losing the data might be the least of your concerns.

Ever lovable and always scrappy,
