>>could be a rumor..but heard it floating around the industry...any details i do not know...thought you might...i guess can call and ask the....IR<<

You still have not given us a succinct version of this rumor. A customer in NY? What kind? If Ciena did not get the contract, then who did? What kind of equipment was the contract for? Heard it floating around the industry? Really? I have my ear to the ground and have not heard a thing. Care to divulge who initially told you, or if not, what that person does who told you this rumor?

>>have never come on this site to say any thing like you mentioned<<

That is incorrect as we have had exchanges here before where you have questioned the PE. Those were not overtly disparaging, but your comments about Ciena on the TLAB thread have been. But that is still not important. What is important is making comments as you did Friday without any responsible follow-up.

>>am shareholder....but holding firm since the $30 mark<<

That is strange as you never mentioned that in one exchange we had here a while back where you talked about possibly owning Ciena but could just not handle the high PE...(and the price since that conversation has never even come close to the 30s as it was I believe in January...) You also mentioned owning Cabletron from the single digits after I told you where my cost basis for Ciena is-if that will help jog your memory....But again, that is still not the issue. The issue is making comments as you did without anything to back them up regardless of your position.

PS Apology to the thread for this strong post but Sydney's very unprofessional post on Friday along with her last post just does not come up to SI standards in my mind. In fact I even know many Yahoo posters who would never have posted what she did without verification or at least an attempt to follow-up in a timely fashion....
