Re: Passwords in emails

[Al Mac Wheel <macwheel99@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I worked some guy office over weekend & left his new password in a sealed 
envelope addressed to him, under the keyboard.  I phrased the password like 
this:
The first character is the first letter of your wife's middle name.
The second digit is the last digit of your street address.
The third digit is the middle digit of your phone #
,,, he still had to phone me to get the translation
