<OT> Dude, With All Due Deference and Due Diligence...
You've made it clear you have no position here. So, as a fellow Texan who was raised by a Mama who didn't cotton much to bad manners,
don't you think its bad manners to visit a thread when the stock's in decline and, in essence, try to pour a little salt on the wounds?
I mean, think about it before you answer. Yes, you could point to some less-than-gentle jabs from other folks, BUT, they came from people who have INVESTED here. Sometimes, we growl when someone is trying to shove the bowl.
Now, if you want to place your bet on CyberSource (a purely software solution that my hacker friends can take apart for sport), then DO IT, Pruitt. Sounds like a good bet. Visa. Paul Allen. GE. Why the names alone are enough to carry it, right? (Just for grins, though, check out Bruce Schneier's site at counterpane.com
Scheier is probably America's foremost expert on application security... or, at least, a close second. He... uhhh... sort of, well, sneers at software solutions.)
Or is it just too darned much fun being a gadfly... to mix metaphors... with no dog in this here fight? How are you on rubber-necking at car crashes? There are few elective surgeries I'm sure you could be commenting on as well. During Clinton's impeachment travails, did you call him up and say, "Hey, Bill, it's Dude, just picking on your scabs again. How's Hillary?"
But... why? And, if you just insist on getting the last word (which you can't because we're invested here and you'll soon be distracted), make me a promise. Serious. Come back in two months. And see where things stand.
Just a thought...
