Not to be divisive, but I have to side with you and Joe here, Paul. Scott's the kind of person who, aside from being EXTREMELY long-winded, might look at the stock price today and says it's trading at its 52-week high, which for the next 52 weeks is probably true. Don't you get the feeling he walks in to work everyday singing, puts his Hush Puppies into the closet, puts on his sweater & loafers and talks to Mr. Trolley all day? I do.
To Scott:
Sorry, Scott, but I think you've been brainwashed, bamboozled and lulled into a sense of false security by your management. Remember the scene at the end of "Animal House" when the whole parade crowd is in chaos & there stands Niedermeyer in his ROTC uni screaming "All is well!"? That's you, Scott. All is not well.
Sure, things might be rosy in your Border Manager corner of the world, but the big picture is a f*cked up mess. You see, we as irate investors (former investor in my case) expect you as a real-live Novell employee would be one of the first people to recognize this. So based on your postings, you're either in denial or you're oblivious. If you and the other employees in the trenches with you don't feel it, we as investors feel obliged to do what your managers SHOULD BE DOING and kick your ass until you DO feel it. To borrow a phrase from my parents: "Some day you'll thank us for this"
