I feel that someone must respond to this introduction.  If you don't
like highly inflamatory postings, delete this now without reading it.

It is my opinion that anybody who would hire a computer criminal to work
on computer security deserves to lose all of their information assets -
and probably will.  It's about as smart as hiring a convicted child sex
offender to run a daycare center.

Please let us know the name of the company when you start it so we can
tell all of our clients to avoid it.
