Absolutely correct.

www.kpmg.com competes with the rest of the Big Six.. Don't hear much from 
them anymore except on a few posts here and there, and mostly in 
Information Security Week .  A majority of them have fled to different VC 
type funded companies or some just decided they wanted out of that life.  I 
think a partner I worked for several years ago is in last month's Wired 
magazine touting his new fancy non-shaving of his upper lip and chin. Some 
www.esecurityonline.com type of thing.  Hopefully he thanked all the 
helpless soles who re-typed all the CERTS, all the BUGTRAQ information in 
order to really make the information special.  Hey, 
www.esecurityonline.com, next time learn how to use a scripting language, 
and one can write a nice little utility called a parser.  "Who is typing in 
those vulnerabilities?.." New T-shirt to be distributed at SANS..

Top of the line?? Depends on what you hire them to do.. E&Y does a better 
job at waxing the floor than most.  Just make sure if you want a really 
shiny floor, make sure you ask for the L-3 special.. :)  Floor wax, desert 
topping and Sample characters.  :)

Tongue in Cheek.. :)
