I'll give a punctuation correction here, for a more professional look. In the pop-up boxes it says "2 more places under this dot, click to see them". That's a common grammar error called a "comma splice", bec

Ah, I think I recall the story you're referring to: reporter Josh Renaud of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch discovered that a public web site was exposing Social Security numbers of teachers in Missouri. He notified the site's admin
