- joncrane 6y agoThank you. It's one of my most-mentioned law or principle, and I keep having to Google it to remind myself what it's called or so I can link it to a colleague. It's fun to be part of a discussion with other people who already know about it (and that's a fairly intelligent discussion, too; the security angle is interesting).
