Ed, As I believe you're aware the situation with regard to SO is somewhat different - however should not have resulted in the heated discussion that it did. I can assure you that it was a short lived altercation. In my defense I think that SO's tact was non-existent. Not only was he wrong in his call on Cisco but then lied in waiting for the opportunity to suggest somehow that he was even remotely right. The problem is that the markets slide today (and with it CSCO) was in large part due to the activities in the mid-east and loss of life. I found it sickening that SO would use this as an opportunity to claim victory for his myopic self-centered cause, to in some way validate himself. I take no issue with his position on the stock market - yes I have a different view - but everyone is entitled to their own perspective. That all said, I have ended my "discussion" with SO. I would typically apologize for my actions but in this case - given the sickening nature of his actions - to gloat when the resulting slide in the market is based upon the sadness in the mid-east - I will not. But, as I said I will not address this issue any longer.
