 thank you very much.
I get it clear.
And many times people miss out the boundary line on security policy.
It always looks blurred and they naturally step into some unethical act, unintentionally.(Many cases)
Many of the dev folks handle customer data without any sense of data security.
They take a dump and put them on their home computer without any specific care, as if they were downloaded from facebook.
If only the management has a clear & strict policy, & keeps reiterating to the employees, nobody would give attention to it.
And about officially doing things on the products, I think we might have to consult with the customers (all the parties) if it's okay to exchange the metrics with other customers.
I think, none of the successful companies would like to do it. lol
Letting a customer die off is a bad thing for that company & as well as for us as too, apparently. I'm still thinking if there's a very fair, reasonable way of doing this. ( other than the fine print )
If it's a public listed company, it's an open book, no probs or I dont know I also get to see Private limited companies announcing their sales details to public media.
If our customers do such kind of press release, then nothing like that. Then it's a matter of adding a "Courtesy *" on the Graph

I would never do this. Even asking your clients for permission to share aggregated summary data anonymously is something that would trouble me if I were your client.
If you let on you are aware that some clients are doing better than others, I think you open a "can of worms." If I were a client in the "doing better" group, I'd be suspicious you might infer the strategic reasons for that, and share them. If I were a client in the "doing worse" group, I'd try to get you to reveal more about what the doing-better group was doing, etc.
cheers, Bill

Reading a German de.alt.netdigest post I realised that such had happened to me as well.
Citing Stefan Froehlich, free translation from German.
It happend two times that I found pages somewhere in the deeps of the web where somebody described exactly the same problems I was going to solve. Unfortunately,- there were no answers,
- the postings where some years old,
- and a deeper inspection showed that the postings where not only grepped from the Usenet respectively a mailing list, but had been posted by myself.
That was the time when I decided to stop my investigations on that topic.
For the young chaps:
*.alt.netdigest are moderated Usenet - Wikipedia[^] newsgroup collecting funny posts.

Is usenet still on the go? or is it dead and buried....

I decided to have look again a few months ago. I had it still configured in Thunderbird but have not pulled messages for some years.
It is still alive (at least the German newsgroups). But much less traffic than in the 90s and early 2000s. I still remember the names of many posters.
There is a big advantage:
Mainly longtime users with much experience in the technical groups and very few (if any) trolls.

Usenet gets a few dozen TBs worth of new data every single day; that's why Usenet servers are no longer free. I'd say there's a lot more traffic on Usenet today than ever before.
Problem is...it's all crap.

With traffic I meant the amount of text postings, not the volume of data transferred which is sourced by the binary groups.
The decline of the text postings can be seen by the statistics provided by many servers. If you don't need binary groups there are still free servers available like open-news-network.org.
With the text postings the quality has increased (at least in the groups I have subscribed). I have never used binary groups because it always was mainly crap.

I've had that happen to me, in different flavors. The most amusing one is googling for a solution to something and getting a link to a Code Project article.
That I wrote.

Was your article helpful or even provided the solution?
Or was it just another page beating around the bush

Wade Frankum shot up a load of people in Strathfield Plaza with an AK-47 and I got married.
He's dead, but if he wasn't he'd probably be free now, I'm not.

My commiserations - not, despite your moaning and bitching you are still married, suck it up sweetheart!
Like me you are either too lazy or too comfortable or just plain happy to be married to do anything about it. I'm coming up on 40 years married and am as happy as a pig in mud. Can you imagine going through the hassle of finding another woman who would put up with you.

Who would. Not starting with all that sh*t again after all these years.

No brainwashing required, good food did the trick nicely.
I recently had 3 months where we were in different countries, makes you appreciate the work the wife puts in to running even a small household.

Do you ever tell her that? Does she know?
Anyhow, I am happily married as well.

Isn't he with Hugh Janus?
I suspect you might end up restricted to the soapbox with that username...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I could be, Heywood Jabloame, or they could set it so I can make changes to settings without it telling me I can't as the name is already taken.
Maunder changed the popup thingy for me but removed my bold and italic settings and I can't get them back.

Or his other brother - Warwick.

It's a big family, as their younger brother Yorick was telling me the other day.

And all are in third grade, as it looks. But ok, you forgot uncle Richard, also known as 'Tricky' Dick.

Your training period is almost, but not quite, over.
Another 24 years should do it.
Congrats.
