I like to use @redhat.com sign-offs because I'm working on behalf of red hat, but for all non-NDA email I use an account that doesn't depend on my employer. Because of the potential for unintended info leakage these days, corporate email access is reclaimed the minute you leave a company. It isn't wise to depend on the corporate email account. That's why I patiently and kindly ask people to email me at the addresses I've always used for open source (jgarzik@pobox, jeff@garzik). Open conversations don't need to get locked in a corporate tomb :) Jeff
