>>To think what Ray Lane could have done at Novell... Novell could have been another Oracle, bigger than Oracle. Stewart Nelson and Rich Nortz are not the guys to lead Novell to the promised land.>>

How far are you prepared to really take this?

Sharing your "point of view" on Nelson and Nortz is fine, but there's got to be more or else why bother.

I, too, have been extremely puzzled at the same dichotomy - ie. fabulous technology against this perverse willingness to almost want to force this "we're better than" sense of arrogance into the marketing mix which simply throws the baby out with the marketing bathwater.

I'm sorry, but from a sales and marketing point of view some of these attitudes can cut very deeply both ways. If one didn't know some of these folks to begin with I just wouldn't bother.

I guess I'm still hopeful and waiting for the Old Novell pyramid to simply invert and be totally and completely turned UPSIDE DOWN.

Stewart Nelson brings ZERO/NOTHING to the general marketing, energy/trust table anymore.

I don't know why Scott and others can't simply empower themselves to "think different."

What's there to fear??

Why should people like Frederick Smart and others who question Novell be perceived as "negative enemies" who aren't worthy of Novell's "time??"

I'm not giving up.

I just don't buy this crap anymore.

Life is just too short.

I'd rather focus on and share good energy while creating trust. And, yes, Kilo, you and we're impacted by something inside Novell relating to something you heard about me, etc. I'm not going to comment on the details here, but suffice it to say that you perhaps were not comfortable meeting me for the same reasons. Nothing I said to you, but what others were saying about me.

It's nice to have you on the outside.

Peace.

GO!!
