Mr. Brown,
	Instead of being critical without offering suggestions, why don't you
shut up?  The program I posted was an example.  We don't use it here because
we are too small.  I have seen other critisisms of my program, but they
were constructive in that they were pointing out problems with it.  I challenge
you to develop a program which will create random passwords which will be
easy to remember.  The challenge includes posting it to the net in less than
200 lines.  If you do this then you will have contributed something worthy to
the net instead of useless abuse.
