Part of the fun of being in a booming/bubbling industry is the constant rumour-mongering. The most fun is when the rumours are about you, which is what happened to me some minutes ago. Apparently, I am leaving my current employer to join CMP. The deal is done. Such irresponsible chatter must be dealt with, and I enclose my official response below.

This talk of my leaving my current employer for CMP is totally inaccurate and fueled by irresponsible reportage. I am fond of CMP and we remain good friends.
