Sour Grapes much? Despite having worked in his general vicinity 15 years ago (when he was already recognized as a leader in issues security related, mostly at the tactical "how do I determine if there is a rootkit on this server" level) - I'll admit to being completely incapable of judging his expertise. But, the smartest people I know who are capable of judging Alex, say that he is the real thing. Super insightful, and, has that ability to understand where the "puck is going" rather than constantly being reactive to the issue du jour. He also has a reputation for being generous with his time, and giving advice/guidance to people who need it.
