Hi,

There are literally 4 numbered lists in your (very long) email.  If you can
succinctly and  concisely state a short list of questions, I will entertain
answering them.

In the meanwhile, I will clarify a couple of points.
1.  Ken compared my retirement to Ed Snowden's defection.  The implication
is highly offensive.

2.  I left off two words from my bio section on my CISA work.  Those words
were 'uncleared' and 'unpaid'.  I was not considered to be cleared for that
short position.  My plan was to find a sponsor to pay for the travel
associated with an IESG position.  It didn't work out, so I resigned.
That's it, now, I fund my own travel.  I say that it is funded by my
children's inheritance (I need a logo, BTW - DM me if you have any ideas).

3.  I'm not sure how many ways/times I can say that I worked the Cyber
Security mission.  But there are very few other ways to say this.  CSD does
not equal SIGINT, as much as you seem to want it to.

4.  I will not agree to answer questions on what I had for breakfast, or
how long I walk the dog in the mornings, or other intrusive questions.

Your messages are long and rambling.  Be short and concise, please.
