Personal news

I was delighted to learn that Fortinet recognized me for all my posts in the past, both helpful and whimsical. Having only been involved since 2006, I was delighted to finally have found a place where I could help others and be recognized by my peers. (unfortunately, it' s not happening at my now former place of employ...) So, in a bizarre coincidence, I have just resigned my position here at this health care facility. The company I have agreed to work for now is not a Fortinet shop. On that note, I am offering ownership of the threads I have started in the ' Miscellaneous' category: " FGT platforms with CPU, memory and supported firmware" (https://forum.fortinet.com/FindPost/100451) " SSL VPN client versions with locations" (https://forum.fortinet.com/FindPost/97349) " FGT firmware version list with dates" (https://forum.fortinet.com/FindPost/86591) " FSAE/FSSO client versions with locations" (https://forum.fortinet.com/FindPost/97351) If I didn' t feel that these 4 are timeless and will continue to be of use, I wouldn' t have even bothered asking you all. (Just look at the number of hits each has gotten in their small time in existence...) I still will own and maintain a few devices for some of my smaller clients as well as couple for myself, but my participation here will be scaled back dramatically. I don' t believe I' ll be just a desk jockey any longer. Screen time will be reduced. Please speak up if you' re interested in continuing this body of work. It would be a shame to let it go stale. :-( Your gratefully, Bob Patterson P.S. I already inquired with Fortinet. They declined to take ownership.

Wow, what a message...I' m happy for you and sad at the same time to lose your experience and dry humor. The forums will not be the same afterwards. It might take some time until I fully realize that you won' t follow or post regularily anymore. Learned a lot from you and will miss you. All the best for you at your new job, may it be challenging, profitable and earn you the recognition well deserved. I' m happy that Fortinet has already acknowledged your tremendious collaboration on the forums after all these years. The way it looks at the moment I will in contrast continue with Fortinet products, and if nobody is objecting I am willing to maintain the hardware platform thread. I' m inclined to hardware anyway, coming from electronics and HW mods for the then top-notch HP-41C. Maybe you could send me instructions how to handle it the way you did. I' m not sure I can edit your post so I might have to re-post a copy of it. All the best, and don' t you dare delete your account - you set an all-time post count. Wolfgang
