Yes it is! I've long said, and now some are beginning to agree with me, that 
Net. applications as MickySoft, Google and others have envisioned, AREN'T a 
solid safe option!! There's a saying from the fur trade era, "Keep yer 
possibles close." That is, keep what is of value close, (read that "in house" 
on YOUR servers).
