Total meaningless snipey childless drivel, even by your standards. Have another go at an insult. Again, the winky doesn’t make you look any less of a ****!

How others see you.

I see you’ve learned from your tag partner to put a smiley at the end of your posts too. It doesn’t work for him and it doesn’t work for you.

Does two do it?

Difference is, I don’t do it when I’ve made a sly/snidey/snipey dig. Passive aggressive I think some people call it. “Only a joke”. “Tee hee”. “What a funny fella I am”. Is that what the pair of you are trying to convey to the mods? I just see it as trying to look less of a **** than you really are. Carry on. You’re fooling nobody.

Which is precisely why I said we need to feel confident about
a) personal information that we provide,
b) personal information obtained and held by others and
c) the use to which any government (or other data holder) is allowed to make use of such information.

Without and until we have that confidence we should be wary of attempts to force through legislation that requires us to provide information, and who is allowed to hold such information, and for what purposes.

And we won't all arrive at that 'full confidence' point at the same time. That means efforts should be targeted at gaining the confidence rather than imposing systems that haven't addressed the issues or reasons for the lack of confidence.

In systems development and introduction there are several options for the new system delivery:
1) a date and time when everyone changes to the new system, no ifs or buts. The old system becomes defunct and only the new system is available.
2) the two systems run in parallel and the user chooses which system to use. The intention is to make the new system better/easier/offering more benefits etc that it becomes the preferred option. The old system dies a slow but sure death.
3) a phased rollout (targeting some users, a geographical region, a service delivery, etc,) allows the system development and the users to learn from, and improve the ease of use and increase the benefits of the new system so that it becomes the preferred option. This phased approach can be combined and implemented in either of the options 1 and 2 above.

A trial group was attempted and for whatever reason, a full rollout was terminated.
Several repeated failed rollouts become a comedy, an expensive waste of resources, and build resistance.

I agree with you. A good post - just saying.
