Hi Guys,

I'd like to raise a potential problem with the Paneris system which I only
realised when I entered a new client of mine the other day for invoicing
purposes.

I noticed that a member of Paneris can view a list of all the clients in
the database and thereby obtain full contact details of companies
employing on a contractual/freelance basis who we have took time and
effort to obtain.

Whilst this has not presented a problem so far, it is possible that
individuals can find the site, register as a member and then poach clients
from the list with relative ease - thus leaving other, honest/genuine
members of the co-operative blatently fucked!

What precautions can be put in place to prevent this from happening?
