And they have long memory's too
(AKA they don't mind how far back in the distant past you crossed the line).

About two years ago I guy turned up at our offices he was a solicitor employed 
by Microsoft turns out we bought some hooky Win98 & 2000 cd's & Licenses five 
years previously from a reseller in London of all places.

The solicitor had all the contact records from the supplier with mine and 
three other members of staffs names against our comments, I have to say it 
was very scary right up until the end when we just got a written warning.
