Hi Art,

It can get even worse. I accidentally stumbled over the following: income
and tax data of individual Norwegian people are freely available on the
internet. See e.g.:
http://www.biip.no/default.aspx?section=skatt&page=person&id=2910310

That is unthinkable in our country. How about the US and other countries?

Regards - Jim.
