Peppe thanks for shedding light on the situation. Ever since
AT&T's blackout with Crisco routers +ATMs last year and
subsequent LU blackout in Chicago, you can count me in as
one of the clueless thousands that don't understand why we
get blackouts after all that PR and cash we are rolling out
to this fat mammas.
Luckily you do understand the system and I am sure we all
appreciate whatever little info you can shed.( None so
far but we are patient ).

We all know you are an ardent Crisco fan and so we are surprised
that you show up on this thread.
Are you starting perhaps to feel the heat that another telco
will buy NN? Competition on the horizon for Crisco, eh?

Or are you here to defend Crisco from TMs recent 4X4 across
the forehead of Crisco when a bystander jokingly asked:

" Is it time for Newbridge to buy Crisco "
" I only buy good companies ", Mr. Mathews shot back,
obviously amused by the idea.
ottawacitizen.com

In case you don't get it, TM was referring to the fact that
Crisco is essentially one large shopping bag: she goes
out and buys what she needs. So it would be natural
for TM to look at Crisco's non engineering talent in
putting companies together, sneer, and crack a joke.
I am sure he didn't mean any harm
so there is no need to get rattled.

Or perhaps peppe you are brighter than we give you credit and you do
understand that Crisco has zero Carrier business and they are not
going to get it because NN is the last ATM to go for sale and they are not going
to get it.

However I will tell you this: I am going to be nice one more time.
And if Crisco does end up buying NN for a 1 share to 1
share exchange I will forget
you made an ass of yourself on this thread for 4 years
defending Crisco in the Carrier space,
and I'll send you a bottle of Dom Perignon.
Normally I would have sold those shares immediately because
of their idiotic PE ( I am not going to wait 10 years to get
my money bavck).But if TM is given some leeway at Crisco
to guide them ( or should I say, design, VBG
their carrier networks ), I'll consider holding those shares
for a little longer,

TA
