Thanks, I appreciate it. Yes, the thing about Anonymous is that it can indeed go in any direction depending on who self-identifies with the movement at any given time, which is to say it can be easily discredited both by intention and via simple bad behavior; this is one of the reasons I left a few weeks back to pursue a crowd-sourced investigation into the intelligence contracting industry with my own group of researchers.

Mr. Brown,

Thanks for getting back to me and clearing that up. I've just got off the phone with Imperva and they said they you were not a member and that they were going to correct that post.

I heard you speak about Anonymous on NPR a few weeks ago and I think it was the best thing I'd heard on the topic.

It seems like more people are using the Anonymous brand these days to launch their own operations (e.g. http://news.cnet.com/8301-27080_3-20070863-245/anonymous-targeting-federal-reserve-in-next-attack/) but maybe that's a misperception on my part.

Anyhow, thanks again for the response.

Bob
