Memo from Martin P Burns of PricewaterhouseCoopers

-------------------- Start of message text --------------------

Yup - don't put them on the web.

If some of the content is on password protected pages (eg
with .htaccess or some other form of access control), it'll
make it a bit tougher for automated tools, but not impossible.

Cheers
Martin
