Hi Dave,

We've certainly been known to do some pretty silly things before,
and some would say that a lot of things we're doing now are pretty
silly :slight_smile:

Regardless, an non-disclosure agreement is a non-disclosure agreement.

We work very hard internally to avoid "leaking" information between
the various providers we are under non-disclosure with, and we
expect the customers who we work with under an NDA to also take the
NDA seriously.

While it might make complete sense that we are/should be working on
a particular product or feature, that doesn't mean that we are, and
details like how close we are to delivering a particular product
or its specific features, etc. could clearly be of use to our
competitors - which is why we execute an NDA.

Thanks,

My favorite silly thing is having both shoes drop within a week.

Dave (and Dave), I know I'm not a party to this little tension, but I just
can't help myself. I've gotta post.

IMHO, you did much more damage with your original post, dated the 19th (?)
which said:

If anyone has been discussing other OC3 interfaces with you, they
are potentially in violation of a non-disclosure agreement, and I
would suggest that such conversations shouldn't be happening.

To me, this SCREAMS: "There will be an OC3 interface for the 4700 NLT
Christmas, maybe sooner."

Oh, I get it. First, exploit someone else's mistake, then make a
follow-up post to a newsgroup (or auto-CC?) to iron the point home just in
case nobody caught the faux pas the first time around. Yeah, that's
marketing, right? My mistake.

Don't get me wrong, Dave, I have no disrespect for you (you've helped me
before), and obviously I buy Cisco...a LOT. But sometimes...

I just wanted you to know: we're listening. That way, you won't have to
post a note that says, "I mean, if we WERE to have an OC3 interface for a
non-7xxx, nobody's allowed to speculate what that might be for."
