Yael Melmann works for EMC.

We need to clear something up for future reference... is it Melmann or Hellmann?

You see, posting to this list from a relatively anonymous "yahoo.com" e-mail account (which, by the way, is hosted on NetApp filer storage technology) might be construed by some as an attempt at deceit, although personally I'd never believe that anyone who could hold down a job at an outstanding corporation like EMC would be capable of such unprofessional behaviour. I feel certain that this was just an oversight.

We do need to clear up this last name thing though, because Yael would look more than a little silly if he'd got that wrong on his Yahoo sign-up page . I mean... What next? A false beard? A blond wig, evening gown and high heels? No... I'm sure this was just a mistake, and probably yours Christian, right? We all make mistakes, and you're usually so conscientious about getting your facts straight here.

So to show that there was clearly no malicious intent, is it Melmann or Hellmann? Also, in order that we can all get some perspective on any vested interests that might have been behind young Yael's comments trashing network attached storage, perhaps you could tell us what he does for EMC? That would be both helpful and enlightening.
