Jones, III" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: FC: KPMG says nobody can link to kpmg.com without permission Declan: I have been a long time subscriber to this list and just wanted to respond to the email sent out yesterday regarding KPMG, LLP and its linking policy. The company that has that policy is KPMG, LLP, the "Big 5" tax and assurance firm, not KPMG Consulting, Inc. the technology consulting firm. KPMG Consulting was spun off on February 8 of this year in an initial public offering and is a completely separate, independent, publicly-traded company (NASDAQ KCIN). KPMG, LLP does not do technology consulting and KPMG Consulting does not have a linking policy similar to that of the tax and assurance firm. All of the press surrounding this seems to be confusing the two companies by calling KPMG, LLP a technology consulting company, like Ms. Slater does below. I just wanted to set the record straight that KPMG Consulting, Inc., based in McLean, Va., which is a technology consulting company, does not in fact have a linking policy like that of KPMG, LLP, the tax and assurance firm. KPMG, LLP sent the notice to raettig.org, not KPMG Consulting, Inc. Let me know if you have any questions. Robert E.
