Sure Paul, I can post a reference, right after I get the approval of those
involved that want the embarrassment of their company publicly posted for
all to see. I imagine you can find a public notice posted by the particular
city's public works department for the street closure that was required, but
then you'd need to know the name of the city, and for more than a few on
this list that will instantly tell them the client's name too. I can ask the
man that was IS manager at the time if he wishes to speak with you if you
want verification, since that seems to be what you're after... I was there
personally, saw the city's work crews and know for a fact that the
particular state's Attorney General's office was in the building - I walked
right by their doors every day.

Just a note, Google does *not* know all. :)

By the way, I've got another case study I'll be posting that your judge in
the Independent Enclave of Austin wouldn't be able to do anything about
either - story forthcoming. The situation I'll talk about is known to
several people in the support business, several of whom read this list on a
daily basis.
