While it is true that lots of folk pick on vendors for a few minutes of 
fame, the Wachovia case is slightly different.

They do have an attitude problem and are technically challenged. The basis 
for this is a law enforcement conference about six months ago. During a 
pressentation a Wachovia representative told a speaker to stop blaming the 
banks for problems. This was the third presentation this individual has 
listened to in which each speaker had blamed the banks for not doing 
enough and the frustration level was a bit high.

So you declare the whole of Wachovia technically challenged based on the
one incident at a security conference (did all of Wachovia attend?) six
months ago?  Come on. ;-)

Wachovia, like every other large enterprise, has good, mediocre, and bad
employees.  It's a fact of life, but not a news worthy story.  I'm sure
that some days the best and brightest represent Wachovia at some
conference somewhere, and I am equally sure that some days the worst and
most deplorable represent Wachovia at some conference somewhere.  It
happens.
