There's really nothing to talk about other than a puzzling press release about Coates being legally bound to vote for the current BOD. That's not the puzzling part; the puzzling part is why INPR wants to publicly announce that they have to force somebody to make a public statement about voting in the current regime whether he likes it or not. I don't quite understand the rationale of advertising that they don't have the support of shareholders but that they do have agreements that can use to coerce votes. Since Dale Fuller apparently isn't being fired (as he should be) and doesn't have the sense to resign (not to imply that good judgement or common sense is an expectation with this guy) then perhaps killthedeal.com has more work ahead of it. Nobody's saying he's evil or stupid, but he's about as ignorant as they come in my book. I mean, he doesn't have a damn clue where to move this company, how to move this company or even what this company does, if you ask me. That $1 salary was easy to give, now that he's failed miserably it's not so easy to just take the dollar back and tell him to go home. How can Inprise even entertain keeping a guy who had to be saved from being swindled out of the entire company? He had to be pulled kicking and screaming from the edge of a cliff. Then again, he was about to push you all over it, he wasn't going with you. For crying out loud, he almost gave away a whopping $230 million in cash and the entire company to a broke and failing retail software outfit. IMO, Corel is an embarrassment to the Linux community and putting their label on Debian Linux did not suck in anybody but Dale Fuller and a bunch of momentum investors who rue the day the ever heard of Corel or Inprise. For crying out loud, there was a massive body of evidence and information out there and Fuller just ignored it and went with the fairy tales.
