The non-disclosure was about new Sun products.  The salesperson took  
a shot at NeXT by passing along a side-bar rumor about the engineers.   
The implication was that the move was major, an earthquake, and that  
Sun had made a major coup.  I did a little rumor control, but  
disclosed no secrets.  But thanks for keeping me honest.
