    Don't be ridiculous. Around here, everyone cares about security. Very
    passionately, in some cases. In future, please ensure that you are up-front
    about your relationship to the company whose press-release you are touting.
    It removes the bitter taste from what you have to say, believe it or not.
    Especially when what you have to say is truth. When you have a relationship
    that you hide, the inference is that your information is somewhat less than
    honest, also.

    There's no need to try and provoke a response. Be honest about what you do
    - if you'd come in to the group under your identity as
    robin@comodogroup.com, you'd have generated more interest in your company,
    rather than given the impression of being a shyster.

    Alun.
