You've got nothing to lose. I can guarantee that their role…See More

"OAuth would have been a more suitable protocol to use, but perhaps they're creating a "walled garden" with their igovt on purpose."

"My "animals" were dogs, not too dissimilar looking to the "two fur balls" in your pic. Unfortunately, they belonged to the boss so we were 'unable' to complain about them. I like Graeme's idea that bringing pets…"
