    Nothing like oversharing!
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

        Considering how quickly the cyber security world changes, you are out of date.

          Yeah, right. You constantly drop hints suggesting that you're essentially an expert in everything, but then when asked for your credentials, you always hide behind your anonymity.

              There are plenty of things I know zilch about... cars, sport, architecture, celebrities, fashion, to name a few. So I don't post on forums about cars or football, instead I post on forums that match my expertise, so the subjects that come up here do tend to match my expertise which is why I'm posting here in the first place. Also, I've spent many more years at university than most so do happen to have more areas of expertise than most, and I'm an inquisitive person who likes to always be learning new things.

              Also, a millennial happening to have some computing skills isn't exactly unheard of. So Bill's arbitrary claim that I would know "ZIP" on the subject struck me as particularly bizarre.

                "Working in computing" can mean anything from a hardware tech to a network engineer to a compliance specialist. And since you are a scientist, your knowledge would be horribly outdated. And I find most millennials that work for me to be woefully lacking in actual basic cyber security skills wrt anything beyond setting up a swipe pattern on their iPhone... and conversing with you here for a while about Hillary's email server hammered that home pretty well.

                      It pretty much shows that you don’t know what you’re talking about.

                        The wilder your accusations, the more you know you have no leg to stand on. This one's pretty wild.

                          Eh? What are you even talking about?

                          That on the Clinton emails my view was roughly that which the FBI/DoJ ended up taking, and I didn't share the crazy-right's hyperventilation about them? Or that I know more than "ZIP" about cyber security?

                          Are you calling time 1 when I was correct or time 2 when I was correct, "pretty wild"?

                            Assuming your characterization of the view is anything like reality (which could be a stretch given your hyperbole regarding the right), that you accidentally ended up with the same view doesn't mean your reasoning to get there was valid. Unlike your wholly unsupported assertion of knowledge regarding the field, Bill is an actual expert in it; if he says you got schooled, he's probably not blowing smoke.

                            I'm no expert in cyber security, but I'll take the opinions of someone I *know* is qualified over some random guy on the internet who has no proven qualifications and has no personal experience of how this country's government implements it.
