In short, the “advantage” is being able to use all these toys without

They *want* to be “unaware”; you make no friends when you try to inform
them of their reality.

This hurts. I must change the direction of my posts. My original
query covered my experience with many public services and a few
companies of similar status, like my supplier of electric energy.

But what you write, Doc, evoked 1 such company, providing the
IT-infrastructure for the social insurance company which dominates
the agricultural sector in France. As far as I can see, you
fully described them.

It hurts, because the insurance company is actually great.

Unawareness about anything IT is however another attribute. They
have a digital shadow which is a bunch of pretentious, incompetent
and incredibly arrogant idiots. Hence, they put an ‘i’ in front of
the insurance companies name.

I do not want to further enlarge on this precise heap of crap, nor
dwell on the general inaptitude of people to cope with IT, but must
find a way to live with it.

Apart from telling my advisers and people in charge of my affairs
that they spread confidential information that they thought to keep
private, I have no idea what to do.

Do you have an advice? There was one occasion on which I considered
suing the company in question, but hesitated long enough to finally
calm down. This would anyway be a crusade without end…
