Off subject, but it was to good to pass up.

Maybe thats why so many runs have gone bust. The Johnsons _are_ reading
each others mail;) See, Johnson A accidentaly receives mail ment for
Johnson B that lets him know a run is being set-up that will affect
him. He goes and hires additional assets to boost security. Johnson C
accidently recieves mail dealing with Johnson A's activities, gets
spooked, and hires more runners for a pre-emptive strike. Now the poor
buggers Johnson B hired will walk into a meat-grinder. Hey, maybe I'll
use that...

As for the handles, what do you expect? Corporators are not exactly
portrayed as being particularly imaginative.
