To answer your question...YES I was kidding!
I did post it to invite speculation!

The Truth is, the mergers within the security space are getting interesting.
First Watchbot buys Sanctum.
Now McAfee finally bought Foundstone (Rumored since Feb.)

What's next? Symantec buys @Stake and ISS buys SPIDynamics?
(these are only thoughts NOT Rumors)

Cheers!

Maybe we should have just socially engineered him and provided a 1-800
number he could call.  Maybe get him signed up for some courses and
have him send the money via paypal to some hotmail address?

:)


Foundstone Classes - for more information call 1-800-244-5653
Contact: Havening Youon
Email: Havening.Youon [at] hotmail.com


For those not interested in mapping out the 800 number, it's 'big joke'

Cheers!
