This user has yet to validate her/his profile with LinkedIn. It is therefore simple to assume that she/he is but a charlatan or common hoaxster.

My only big complaint is with light text on dark backgrounds. Other than that it was an interesting talk. I would have liked to have seen a little more covered on how you process incoming email, whether it's natural language or constrained to some specialized format. I suppose that could be a talk in and of itself.
