Well said and I hate to continue this worthless thread, but I'll do it anyway.
The one thing that seemed to be contrary to his statements was when he mentioned
the dollar amount, "you may have heard of this", etc. To me, that sounds too
close to bragging. In fact, why should the list have to know?
It takes a lot more than a record and good intentions to become involved in
computer security, but I wish him the best of luck.
