Wow CL, you've really tipped the O&M manual to us all here today, particularly the chapter entitled "How to Enforce Permanent Sunshine on the IPMCF forum." One guy plans to send some goons over to check it out (am I reading Msg 4550 correctly?). Thank God he used a public forum to hash out the SOW. Another guy's trying to pry into my company's mail server and even sent over a decoy job inquiry to flush out my TRUE IDENTITY. Ah, nothing like the spirited exchange of ideas!

<<<Norm was just kidding. His boss, Kaleem Shah is out of town right
now and Norm was just bored. If you want to talk to him, you can
call him at 703-903-6800.>>>

Yes, I see what you typed alright, CL. I read it, and more importantly I hear you as well. Seems the Goodest Samaritan of them all has a pretty healthy mean streak...

In the spirit of due diligence run amuck, you located my place of work, broadcast my work number, called my boss (yes, that's his name) and told his secretary that I was using the name of a previous employee to "flame" people over the Internet. Anyway, you plan to call him next week upon his return from vacation to "discuss the matter further".

You're really pushing the envelope of "My Favorite Stock" boosterism with these tactics, don't you think?

So Norm's apologized, has he? So gracious of you to help write my letter of resignation. Given the Stepford Wives tone of this thread, I'm probably not the first to be asked to leave. I suppose most people would grab the chance if their boss' name was flicked across the screen in this manner. That was the intention, wasn't it?

Suddenly the guys with too much time on their hands are losing their amateur veneer. Have I stubbed my toe on serious, big money? What's the "pyramid of public opinion" gonna make of all this?
