Hi Jim, No, I did not "declare the whole of Wachovia technically challenged based on the one incident at a security conference.." What I was pointing out is that the current problem of their failure to put up a secure web and their failure to respond to notification about has another data point from 6 about months ago. In general enterprises send only a small group of people to any given conference, so no, the whole of Wachovia did not attend. Nevertheless, when you are the one attending, you are a representive of that enterprise. You seemed to have missed the point that I was adding to a discussion, not trying to create a new one. My point was in the dustbin, where it would have stayed, until the current discussion appeared. -- bob On Wed, 11 Jul 2007, Jim Popovitch wrote:

They do have an attitude problem and are technically challenged. The basis for this is a law enforcement conference about six months ago. During a pressentation a Wachovia representative told a speaker to stop blaming the banks for problems. This was the third presentation this individual has listened to in which each speaker had blamed the banks for not doing enough and the frustration level was a bit high.So you declare the whole of Wachovia technically challenged based on the one incident at a security conference (did all of Wachovia attend?) six months ago? Come on. ;-) Wachovia, like every other large enterprise, has good, mediocre, and bad employees. It's a fact of life, but not a news worthy story. I'm sure that some days the best and brightest represent Wachovia at some conference somewhere, and I am equally sure that some days the worst and most deplorable represent Wachovia at some conference somewhere. It happens. -Jim P. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
