I liked this paragraph from the original email:

It is the stupidity of using as an account name, that needs to be known
to other users within a system, the password of the person, on other
systems within the same institution, with the user's name being the user
name on the other systems within the institution with both the person's
name and identifying number, needing to be known by other user's in the
institution, by virtue of the systems in use. Also, there is the
problem, of requiring other users within the institution, to know the
person's identifying number, when that identifying number is used to
index confidential information displayed within the institution, where
the secrecy of the person's identifying number, is the only protection
of the confidential information.
