Ron Totah, Brocade's senior technical marketing manager, has left to join a startup. What do you make of this?

— RTFM

Dear RTFM,

I can only guess that he's gone to greener pastures to escape the Brocade pressure cooker. Mr. Totah headed up the technical analysis team at Brocade (a.k.a. the FUD Squad) whose mission is to find shortcomings in competitors' products. Most recently, his team thought they found something fishy with Cisco's MDS 9509 switch, but apparently their test was just misconfigured (see Did Brocade Bungle Cisco Test? and Brocade & Cisco: Who's Out of Order?). Ron, if you're out there, give me a shout!

Dear Bob the Beaver,
