Scott,
Just musing here...not pointing my finger at anyone.

I've been thinking about this in terms of every spy novel and con man movie I've ever enjoyed.
Suppose you were an employee of a competitor of Corel and participated in your
company's stock option plan:
1. Would you want to be as informed as possible about what the competition is doing?
2. Would you search the Web for every article written about your competitors, their products and how that might affect your company's future prospects?
3. Would you watch what various newsgroups had to say about your company?
4. Would you stop at the Silicon Investor, the most heavily used high tech newsgroup on the Web, to see what individual shareholders of major competitors had to say about your company and the one they have money invested in?
6. Would you direct those same investors to every questionable action, misstep and example of poor corporate judgement?

Wouldn't it be even easier to appear to be just a "regular guy" here on SI? A person could use their real name, personal Email address etc. Not much risk back at the office with company policy and so on either. Just a little "deeper cover" and a person could neatly achieve his own hidden CONTRA agenda.

Of course, this could on and on...The employee of a competing company pretending to be a regular guy who's suspected of working for the company the thread is about but who wants everyone to think that he's really an employee of...

Anyway, that's why I stick to the "newsy" stuff. Need I say more?
Best Regards,
Kurt Petersen
