It was not a publicity stunt. Simple Nomad is a good guy, this was just a possibly inapt turn of phrase. To those of us who saw the preso, it was obvious that this was just a throwaway, off-the-cuff remark, not premeditated.

And we think that this was accidental?

Or due to lack of clue on Simple's part?  (Or should I refer to him as
Mr. Nomad?)

Smells like a publicity stunt to me...

BTW, Enoch -- there was a post to Bugtraq (??) a couple of days ago
with the details...
