Isn't it time, Alan, that you started to alert your government readers to
the consumer issues that arise if there is suddenly a `rebuttable
presumption of validity' for electronic transactions, thanks to the new
e-commerce bill?

The furore over `phantom withdrawals' that happened in the early 90's 
looks certain to be repeated, to the great embarrassment of ministers.

Then we can go on to talk about the safety issues of the NHS network ... :-)
