Well said Bob.  Those of us that know Jonathan have been ignoring the whole issue.

Folks --

It has come to my attention that Leif Ericksen re-posted an article earlier regarding one of our industry members this evening, and was intended to be 'purely informational' and nothing more.

Similar to Leif, I too, received an email from the full-disclosure mailing list earlier today regarding said issue.  The afternoon has been abuzz with discussions regarding this matter.  Nonetheless, without any factual basis or web site URLs to substantiate this rumor as 'truth', this is nothing shy of a rumor mill initiated in an effort to possibly discredit Jonathan Pollet.  After speaking with Leif on this matter, his point was to identify that someone was posting rumors regarding this industry subject matter expert.  The fact remains that someone has taken an initiative to provide a possible negative smear campaign against said individual, and more than likely, will be facing legal issues if found.

Neither myself, nor any of the list moderators, condone such actions against any individual within the industry, list member or otherwise, regarding any form of slander or negative campaigning.  Secondly, on behalf of the SCADASEC-L mailing list (myself and esp. Leif), please accept our sincerest apologies for re-posting this material.  Discussing any negative issues or events only leads to further viral and disproportionately skewed misrepresentations against people (in general).

Further, any archived data will be removed (censured) from the SCADASEC-L archive area, and prevented from being archived to search engines, such as Google.

Last, a sincere apology is extended to Mr. Pollet regarding this matter.

Sincerely,

Bob Radvanovsky
SCADASEC-L Owner
