In any case, I'd be awful out in the field! I'm too fond of honesty.
I was thinking that, too, but decided it would be rude for me say it. And there's this whole 'reform' agenda based around the concept of recruiting honest people that kicked off 15 years ago. I don't know how it went, but it would be cool if it worked out.
I realise that the other aspect of job secrecy (even if you're not in the field) is that it sets you up as a target for spies - if it's easy to find out that you've got information worth having, then they're that much more likely to lean on you.
You probably do know some of my friends in Canberra, I'd count many of the people who went to Phenomenon as friends, and I like pretty much everybody who goes.
