Ed, Many thanks for the feedback. I always appreciate it. A couple of comments inline:

I typically try to do so... when I can reach someone - and also when I have the time to do that level of checking. In this case I had no contacts at HBO, assumed Dyn would not talk about a customer and had already exchanged email and tweets with Jason at Comcast. I was trying to be as quick as possible, while still being accurate, to try to dampen some of the raging going on social media that was ranting about Comcast when I felt they did the right thing. > but a suggestion to try to narrow the message. Like, once i got to there > being a step 3a or 3b, I was kinda loosing my will to finish the article. What? Are you saying I write too long??? I'm probably guilty as charged... I think I was daydreaming during the class in school about brevity - which is why I tweet, honestly... to have that daily practice in focused brevity. :-) (There is also the 10+ years I spent in corporate training and the teaching work before that... all of which wires me to explain, explain, explain....) And in all seriousness, I have in mind to write a smaller focused post on another site tomorrow that summarizes the issue and points over to this Deploy360 blog post for those who want the longer narrative. Thanks again, Dan
