They often rename repeatedly... like Blackwater and ATL
(now "ACT", a Microsoft front group created amid antitrust) and sometimes
the staff migrates to the new "shell" which has its repuatation reset or
laundered. Who invests in Detica? Who are the staff? Any Phorm overlap?

everytime you say things like this i just think of that cult of people
who send around .doc files. i dont want to communicate with people who
talk in .doc format, but they do not wish to use something else, so
they discredit those without word. --Ed, c.o.l.a.
