Your scathing criticism seems to be unwarranted in light of the following 2 of 3 quotes found earlier on this thread:

FIRST U.S. UTILITY BEGINS SMART HOME PILOT USING LONWORKS IN THE NEW ENGLAND REGION.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This afternoon NewPower (NPW, recently spun off from Enron) and Echelon customer, Coactive Networks, announced they would be conducting a pilot project placing Coactive's residential gateway devices into several hundred homes allowing energy management and telemetry services. Each Coactive residential gateway is LonWorks enabled.>>
and then this one
<<Enel (EN: news, msgs, alerts) expects to provide 27 million Italian households with electricity digital meters. The company also agreed to purchase 3 million newly issued Echelon shares for between $87.3 million and $130.9 million.

And finally this observation said by another speaker who perhaps conveys better what I was trying to say yesterday about ELON shareholders reasonably re-scrutinizing ELON's 10-K's etc., that you pishposhed so thickly:
>>All of this degredation of professional integrity (speaking of ANY mgmt's offshore partnerships for fundraising purposes as well as the Arthur Anderson types who then figure out how to record the debt off the books) and is leading to a crisis in confidence for the financial markets. Investors have come to the realization that they can’t believe in anything that management tells them. They have also come to disbelieve in the numbers reported and signed off on by accountants in the financial reports. Confidence in analyst’s recommendations is also waning. Do you ever hear analysts recommend selling a stock? On Wall Street, everything is a buy because it is in its own self-interest to keep investors fully invested. The system is breaking down and in danger of imploding. It is not just an issue of complexity. The larger issue is a moral one. How do you stop the lying, cheating and stealing? The government has never been good at legislating morality. When it comes to character and integrity, these are spiritual issues that rest in the hearts of men. To the financial world, spiritual issues are best left in the hands of priests, pastors, rabbis and clerics.>>
