and FWIW, my kitty is walking away like I'm trying to feed her lettuce.
I have some experience in circumstances where everybody is an expert, and not just kinda sorta experts, but real experts. One (sensible folks, people who want to go to bed at night) learn, very very slowly, but eventually, to rely on assumptions and expertise of others and so on. I can look back on work done by others in my name so to speak and just say "wow".
The more technical, the more sophisticated, the more advanced .... the opportunities for failure grow. On the matter of getting gmail, I just don't know if that is a DCIA level qualifier ... I am not being facetious. Obviously the threat level was not there, it was at the will you fuck me level, and they hoped a hood wink through a gmail "draft" folder would suffice.
I am a bloke, confirmed clinically and experimentally as tri-polar (ask 24601 and awk and alea) there si not doubt about it. I am a complete wack. I write stuff nobody in their reasonable lives should be subjected to. We know this. This is this. And most of it sits in a draft folder .... not cause I want to be reminded of my depravity, but because google thinks they are doingme a servive.
Unlike DCIA, I purge my draft folder on every single solitary window close, on every single solitary instance, on every single solitary outlet, in every single solitary instance.... Do you?
I, Dig Space noted to myself, some time ago, that my antics, even if I didn't hit "SEND" were memorialized in "DRAFTS".
Dig Space walks into the Drafts room with a flame thrower on every exit, fully cogent of the fact that I have well made an complete ass of myself on the stuff I have already actually sent.
I do not measure DCIA capacity on stupidity of these matters. It make for good headlines, the fact is they have nothing to do with such sensitive information routinely, and when they do, it does not arrive and is not commingled with their gmail.
If it was the case the GenPatre was a capable DCIA then I am sad for the loss. I have no data to suggest that he was or was not capable in that capacity.
As far as the humans fucking humans thing, there are times where I support such measures, and times where I am inclined to advise restraint.
