	I was going to use my retirement plans online service until I came to the 
user id setup. They want to use my Social Security Number for my user id. 
How dumb can anyone be, between sysbots, cookie snacking software and all 
of that crap. I talked to these folks and they no idea what I was talking 
about, I said if I use my SSN as my user id on your system and I suddenly 
find somebody has stolen my identity will they pay for all the problems 
that result from this crime. They said that they would pass this on to the 
higher ups.
