[Histonet] comment and question about old blocks

[Joe Nocito]

Bonnie,
as long as any patient information is not given, it wouldn't be a problem. 
then again, that's what the VA worker said just before he lost his computer 
with 2.5 million military names and social security numbers.
    All CAP says is that if blocks are disposed in a proper manner. Define 
"proper manner". I see no harm.

Joe
