Touching a nerve, am I Mr Adare?

 

Tell me, where in the world were you when you posted your message?

Surely not wide awake in Canada at 07:49 GMT?

 

You yourself said "Folks, please don't feed the troll" and yet here you

are doing that very thing. Why is that?

 

I've thought about your comment regarding what you do for a living. Most

folk are caring, loving and good. Others are not ....... and some even

wish to kill and maim us. I have absolutely no idea into which camp you

fall - there is no way of knowing really. As I said to your partner, you

may not be whom you say you are! I have threatened no-one, but if the

Police, Security Services, CIA etc actually DO monitor these newsgroups,

they might just be interested in folk who are upset by simple questions.

 

Have a great day!

These newsgroups were designed, I thought, for folk to help one another.

 

You, Tom, must know these people personally or you couldn't really vouch

for them, could you?

 

If they are good guys, that's great ......... but no-one, not anybody,

has answered my original question.

 

The long-standing MVP stated that I should use a 'normal' browser - and

then fails to explain what he meant. Others reading here would like to

know I'm sure.

 

You may not think so, but I believe he owes everyone here an

explanation, not just me.

It is precisely because they do NOT answer my queries that I try to dig

deeper.

 

Just so you know.

What I am asking should not be too taxing for any normal human being to

answer.

 

Is the fellow described here

http://www.x-cd.com/techmentor/brian_komar.html the same individual as

the President of IdentIT Inc., details of whom may be found here

http://www.identit.ca/management.html ?

 

I could, of course, contact the folk at TechMentor events and take

matters forward in that way, but why should that be necessary? I'm

really gullible and anyone here could pretend to be Brian, simply say

'yes' and I'll believe them!

Yes, it's the same person, I've known both Brian and Paul for nearly 8

years.

G'day Wayne!

 

I guess there's a fair chance that this is you? http://www.murrumba.net/

style_emoticons/

 

When you say you 'know' Brian and Paul, do you mean personally

(face-to-face meetings) or simply 'on-line'?

 

Regardless, can you hazzard a guess as to why neither of them will enter

a sensible dialogue with regard to the errors which show up on their web

site when using a browser other than Internet Explorer? Do you spot

the errors? Look here for an example (dark grey bar towards bottom of

the page) http://www.identit.ca/clients.html Please note that they

still have no clients listed either!

 

Thanks for your post.

Correct.

Numerous face to face meetings.

Both Brian and Paul have created a rule in their newsreaders that

effectively deletes all messages that you post to the newsgroup.

Colloquially, this is called the "bozo bin", they simply do not see any of

your messages.

I only use IE. They list no clients for a very good reason: security. The

companies and organisations they advise, and the implementations carried out

are all "business-in-confidence". They cannot and will not break those

confidences.

Both Brian and Paul are highly respected, world-wide. One thing both of them

detest is fools.

The biggest surprise in your responses, Wayne, is the fact that you

"only use IE" ! That may provoke comments from others reading here! style_emoticons/

 

It makes no sense to me to have a web page relating to one's clients if

there is no intention of listing any - ever !

 

I have no reason to doubt what you have said and thank you once again

for taking the trouble to post your comments.

I've been reflecting on your responses, Wayne.

 

Qualys, Inc., the leading provider of on demand vulnerability management

and policy compliance solutions, helps organizations of all sizes

discover vulnerabilities, ensure regulatory compliance and prioritize

remediation according to business risk - with no infrastructure to

deploy or manage. QualysGuard®, the company's flagship service, conducts

automated security audits and provides the quickest route to neutralize

worms and other emerging threats. Distributed scanning capabilities and

unprecedented scalability make QualysGuard the ideal choice for both

SMBs and large, distributed organizations. More.

 

This company is, I believe, a front-runner in corporate security. It

pulishes a list of its customers here http://www.qualys.com/customers/

 

Hmmm! Perhaps the clients of IdentIT are higher profile.

 

Dave

 

PS I din't spot any errors on the Qualys web site either! style_emoticons/
