If you read the very first line of the post:


This was recently forwarded to me via snail mail. Take it for what it's worth. I cannot validate authenticity one way or the other.

So the original 'insider' as well as the interviewer are not reachable. the OP is simply posting what he received. Its not like he knows more.

Having said that, it was a great post. Like the OP said - take it for what its worth.
