Thank you for your response, Will. I fear I am being intentionally obtuse. But I get stuck at this distinction between routine access and sensitive information. Perhaps the RHIO gets to define the distinction? I think others have pointed out that one person may consider information sensitive that another may regard as routine, or even public. I will withdraw to learn more about the RHIO. :-) regards, JohnLeoZ
