The file in question is 5 years old and is being maintained
for tax purposes only. The account is closed and the
business for which it was used is defunct - in fact, the
owner has passed away.

Under these circumstances, yes, I did consider it, but I'm
still not sure I'd have done it.

Nevertheless, thanks for your concern.

Sorry, I was only trying to help. If you check out our web address,
you will see that we are a reputable CPA firm in Needham MA. We
always keep all information confidential and have been in business for
over 40 years. It was a serious offer to help on my part.

To show your honesty, why don't you send him the password breakin program?

Of course, then we'd all have to trust Louise. Which is the better of two
evils?

Hey, no problem! I did say " to someone you haven't a clue about ..." and
of course, if Louise validated your firm/identify as kosher, no problem
there at all.
I hope you didn't take it to mean anything to you personally.

btw, I used to teach at Needham High School when I lived in Oak Hill section
of Newton right across the border in the mid 1970s.

Don't be so bloody paranoid. Assuming that he doesn't have actual credit
card numbers in it, there is NOTHING of interest in 99% of people's
financial records. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Get over yourself. Your ilk worry
about bloody nothing.
