Correct, I'm currently with Verio, playing ISP.
Yes, I believe that this confirms that John thinks that engineers are

Please disregard the "rock star" crapola. More hype that I don't
want...
I'm just an engineer, like you, but slightly older and more bruised.

of the
press release could lead one to believe that the engineering team
aren't
really people, but some form of property that was "sold" to Cisco ;-)
