RE: Rewarding challenge AS/400...

["Stone, Brad V (TC OASIS)" <bvstone@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

SSN is nothing special these days.  It isn't tough to get anyone's number
with a little work.  It's turned into something it was never meant to be, a
unique indentifier for an individual.  

Mother's maiden name is also getting to be overused. They should just make
you type in your weight or something.  Since everyone lies about this, using
the ACTUAL weight would be something no one could find out.  ;)
