Interesting thread - Christina's point...
> my domain is now more unique than I am
... is both funny and sobering. It also occurs to me that "Mother's maiden
name" is less useful as a security check if Mother never changed her last
name and/or uses the same one that you do (any stats on how often this is
the case?).
And since Jonas commented...
> Actually, designing a form and a database that can accommodate

...I'll follow up with the obvious question about useful references for
someone who is faced with this task (send references directly to me; I'll
post a summary).
