Quite agree.  But "rules are rules."  The company is big (Fortune 100) and
the client certainly does not have the clout to change their IT policies.
I don't even think their IT department knows about the text-file
suggestion.  I'm positive this is my client's way of getting the data,
by-passing the IT department, and avoiding thousands of emails a day.  The
form is really, really high-traffic.  Which also makes me worry about the
file constantly being locked for writing.

Email certainly isn't very secure but it just has to be a better idea than
storing thousands of name-email-phone combinations in a text-file.

Right?

Right?

: there be no database but a text file is ok. dumb.
