We don't have international credit bureaus. We also have a secondary value-add system that enforces and sustains the use of credit bureau's within single economic systems (ie national currency/banking systems) that is lacking within an arbitrarily connected 'net world. I don't see that the model translates well at all. -- J C Lawrence ---------(*) Satan, oscillate my metallic sonatas.
