Hey friend, I have noticed that lately when people become dissatisfied with the facts (such as pro-forma earnings or GAAP earnings) the they just create a new reality based on the results they want rather than just allowing the facts to stand by themselves. It is shame to see such blatant manipulation used in order to accomplish a personal agenda that they usually want to keep hidden.

We have seen the same thing charged in the unfolding story of Enron. The only difference is that here we see some people intentionally using manipulation to make a company look worse than reality indicates. But it is still the same old thing as charged in the Enron case - manipulate the data to accomplish a personal agenda.
