Subject: Re: Laptop shock detection and harddisk protection

I've been staying off the public discussion to avoid fuelling the flame;
my position has been stated earlier and in private communication.
But at this point I must go on record:

The above statement is false. I have never had access to non-public ThinkPad
specifications as part of my employment, nor have I been employed
by anyone who (to my knowledge) even possesses non-public ThinkPad
specifications.

I have contacted Greg KH privately in an effort to clarify the source
of his false impression.
