[Dshield] Joel, I gotta ask...

[Joel Esler]

Okay, I'll bite.

First, I live in Delaware.  Yes, there is more then 50 miles in Delaware.

Second, I work 1) remotely, and 2) I travel to my customer's sites.  
Professional Services.

This isn't an attack on SANS.  This is merely to foster a discussion, 
that I am sure (read: know) has been had within SANS, and withing the 
advisory committee.  However, I didn't see a public conversation going 
on with the SANS community, so I started one.

However, if you  must know, I live 94.2 miles away from my corporate 
headquarters, and 26.4 miles (one way for each) from my place of work.  
So I drive at least 50 miles a day.  That's not so much the point.  It's 
just the drastic change in policy.

Yes I understand there are alternative options.  I just feel that 
everyone has a chance to voice their opinion, and this is a good place 
to do it.
