7. Point taken, just seems a little convenient that this info...

is and has been public domain on the internet. But, I see your point, it's not all that unusual for a programmer to have a website, huh?

The one personal exposure to a whistleblower that I have had didn't leave me with positive impressions about the type of person who makes himself public in grand, exposed manner. I was a student in a class in Louisville, KY taught by Jeffrey Wigand during the time of his whistleblowing (think Big Tobacco, 60 Minutes, The Insider movie). What he did was incredible, we should all be grateful. However, personal experience in being around him day in and day out showed me what type of person he was. I honestly believe he did it for the recognition (quite contrary to the movie and public opinion) and not for the morality. He kind of fed off of the attention and it showed. He has a website now, full of self glorifying facts. Of course, we should all be glad he came forward, just as I hope I will be glad that Curtis has come forward. I'm just a little hesitant to believe he doesn't have alterior motives.
