Though some would say David was a little blunt, I think he brought up a good point and one that might have been smoldering amongst others on this list. Atin (and others like him)does work for the competition and having worked in the corporate world, I would say that there is a very slim chance that Atin would ever portray FTEL as a better or even equal product than those of his company, without jeapordizing his own job standing. However, to build credibility, kudos to competitors can get very close to the line.

That's not to say that his comments are without merrit; he is very knowlegable and as a result gains much credibility among others on this board. Just remember that he's PROBABLY going to use that knowlege to justify his bias against any potentially strong competitor, including FTEL. Keep his posts in perspective. Just because he says something doesn't make it an absolute TRUTH in this industry. He may not appreciate my post but on the other hand, he might openly agree with me.

That said, Atin's and other contrarian posts serve as a valuable balance against what I might get from true believers ($200/sh?), 1-800-Franklin and others. It's like shopping around different stores for a TV; you find out real fast about the other guy's problems.

Again, anything that can be said to maintain perspective is valuable to all. Doing so may offend some but that's life folks. Another $0.02.
