Terr, J.C., Max, etc. I don't know any of you from a hole in the wall, but I have read all the posts recently trying to get more informed about this stock (including all the "shorts are evil", "longs are stupid" ones!) What I read was that J.C. accused Max of "a dangerous and unethical step..." in addition to "Without attribution or date, you have excerpted out of context a single paragraph from eBay's S-10 filing of August 9, 1999". If it matters to anyone, this is not in my book "lying and falsification", but instead an accusation of being misleading - which is further amplified by viewing J.C.'s latest post - I can understand why the person (JC) said what he did, and understood where he was coming from before now. What I will never understand here or elsewhere is why the shorts and the longs take such satisfaction in putting a pie in the face of the other, or using scare tactics. If any one of you is truly pleased that you have "won" and someone else has "lost" (and you are somehow superior) I feel sorry for you. If I had an angle on this stock my approach would be to attempt to create earnest discussion of my viewpoint vs others, not perpetuate rock throwing. Jeff Smith P.S. Terr, thanks for spelling my name correctly!
