| Subject: Re: Dear Woohoo:
| Thanks to all for your show of support. It's deeply appreciated. I do want
| to expand a little on the facts surrounding my termination so everyone
| understands. As far as I can tell, NASA PAO had nothing to do with this.
My
| website and posts were evidently discovered while USA security was
| investigating another employee's computer abuse at work - that person and
I
| were both posting to the space.com bulletin board and I think that's how
| they got interested in me. I was fired because my postings about the work
we
| were doing allegedly gave away proprietary information, i.e. time required
| to perform tasks and the number of personnel involved. USA felt this info
| was of sufficient quantity to be considered damaging to company interests.
I
| didn't even realize what I was discussing could be considered that useful
to
| a potential competitor. But ignorance is no excuse, so they felt my
"crime"
| was serious enough to warrant firing. I appealed the decision, a lengthy
| process that just concluded last week, and lost. I did find out that my
| photos were not part of the problem, so I am thinking about putting them
| back on the web.
|
| Again, thanks for your support.
