Kevin, how conveniently some people forget that in our legal system the burden of proof is on the accuser. That's why people like Michael Zwebner are so insidious: they assume everyone who writes negatively about their company is part of some grand conspiracy with a Mr. Big somewhere behind the scenes pulling the strings. And somehow this justifies turning everyone's life upside down with rambling non-specific innuendo based lawsuits under the pretext of uncovering the truth. This is inevitably applauded by morons on message boards who rather than discuss the actual merits of the suit write vacuous posts with the logic that because it's obviously feasible someone somewhere is guilty of such things then it follows that the actual named defendants and their alleged actions should take a back-seat. As regards Byrne vs. Matthew, this was perfectly said by you: "Sounds to me like a simple case of "How-Can-Anybody-Be-Taking-This-Seriously" on Matthews's part. Easy enough to fall into if you're not prepared -- it's not every day that you run into someone who will look you straight in the eye and tell you with complete sincerity that the sky is green." As I always say, it's hard to have a rational discussion with an irrational person. Had Byrne said "we have documented evidence that Mr. X on such-and-such dates did X, Y, an Z; shortly we'll give more specifics", then, OK, I'd have given him the benefit of the doubt. Instead, you have people like Bob O'Brien pointing at Byrne's legal team and obscure references to Rudy Giuliani as proof there's substance. As always, just you wait and see. It's big. Real big. Uh, sure. Speaking of which, I also see now that Bob and his minions are in a connect-the-dots mode. It won't be long until we have yet another scandal that is declared bigger than Enron (pun intended since one of the dots is supposedly the ex-financial woman turned reporter who co-wrote "The Smartest Guys in the Room" about Enron). - Jeff
