The non-disclosure was about new Sun products, not personnel moves.   
The salesperson took a shot at NeXT by passing along a side-bar rumor  
about the engineers.  The implication was that the move was a major  
earthquake, that Sun had made a major coup.  I did a little rumor  
control, but disclosed no secrets.  

But hey, thanks for keeping me honest.
