    Well,

    I think it was just blind fear talking.

    Properly configured, it is less a security issue than newer devices.

    Pretty impressive from Matthew to have the patience/skills to not
simply "reload" that fridge over the years.

Again, you're focusing resentment towards someone who did the right
thing. Negative reinforcement will discourage others from taking
action and will discourage them from encouraging others to take
action.

Let's focus on who still has vulnerable equipment and how to help
them. Let's not shame people who did the right thing

Thanks,
Dan

OK thank you for decommissioning this.*

So when was the last time you patched this internet facing device?
Isn't the better response, thank you for decommissioning it?

Can someone from cisco set up a poll or release whatever numbers they
have about how many of these old devices are still in service?

Thanks,
Dan
