Hi, Dave,

Many of us in the IT community -- especially those who have to budget for help desks or listen to frustrated users -- 
have long been skeptical of these password hygiene rules. The groups we have to reach are the internal and external 
auditors and audit standards bodies, who have mandated compliance with these dysfunctional notions, and then dinged 
IT management for being "lax." 

Best regards,

~ Dan
