Kilo.... >>I gotta tell you, this is the craziest, most absurdly speculative thing I've yet read on this board. Initially I didn't want to respond for fear of implying any credibility whatsoever in the original post. Why do you insist on making this into a greater drama than it really is? Why is it so unbelievable that Heinz was simply in over his head and was not effectively managing his piece of the organization?>> Waldy raised a very straight forward question. Why was Novell's projections off by roughly $10 million per week? Also, why did they let the Annual meeting and shareholders vote come and go? >>I can't comment on the missed projections thing until after quiet period, but please understand that you are way way WAY off target.>> Missed projections? Heinz must have been drinking ketchup for several weeks straight to miss by such a wide mark. The stock cratered. Novell's value is a fraction of what it recently was. And you want to sit there with your tongue out and two thumbs in both ears taunting "this is the craziest, most absurdly speculative thing I've yet read on this board..." Please Kilo....! Get out from behind this dam of holier than thou secrecy. If a trusted REAL community of investors, customers, employees and users could communicate WITHOUT this Wizard of Oz facade of fear/power/control you wouldn't have these meteorites filled with Heinz Ketchup destroying 40-50% of Novell's value in less time that we can all say "Stewart Nelson." Where's the beef Stewart? Now would be as good a time as ever to lay every card you can find on the table and "come clean." If Heinz was this "NetWare bigot" then by God tell us...compassionately, openly, with reason and energy which inspires confidence and trust. I agree with Waldy. This thing doesn't pass the smell test. Novell can't afford to drain so much trust and energy in such a short period of time. I'm a shareholder once again. I would like some leadership, some answers. Peace. GO!!
