I also had a great deal of respect for @Stake and their work in the field. I hope that this gentlemen knows that his opinion is valid, and that a job will be waiting for him out there. 30 Years of experience in security is no small thing, and I am sure that although this is embarassing to him and his family, he will rebound quickly. I for one praise his efforts for being honest and true to his own thougts and feelings. If @Stak cannot recognize this, well, they just do not have the caliber of professionalism that we all thought they had. Money or no money, @Stake has more on the line here than Microsoft. I am sure that they have a replacement lined up for their vacancy, but at the cost of their reputation as a voice of reason? Bad move on their part.
