Contact from k12.fl.us)

It was pointed out to me that 'k12.fl.us' is not an organization, but
rather a container.  Clarification - I'm looking for a security contact
from broward.k12.fl.us

I wanted to follow up and thank the list for their assistance in getting a contact with Browards' IT management team.  
There were several people who helped me find the right email address to notify.

Side note: I received a number of cynical emails opining on the globally sloppy nature of school district IT 
departments, and suggesting that I not even bother to tell them about a security issue.  I'd like to provide this case 
as evidence to the contrary.  Once I'd sent an email to the right place, the call came within 30 minutes.  The person I 
spoke with was grateful (as any of us would be) for the notification, and seemed intent on addressing the issue.

So, just a data point! :)  Back to our operational (repeat) discussion on the security characteristics of NAT, and how 
many angels can dance on a pinhead.
