Strawman Tactic...

<<Anyhow, continue to flame me if you want>> Mike Winn

For those of you you were never on a forensic debating team, Mr. Winn is using a "strawman" argument, meaning sets up a phony issue then proceeds to knock it down like a straw man. Nobody here has flamed Mr. Winn, just a few mild criticisms and simple obsrvations that Mr. Winn makes a habit of pooh-poohing small stocks. As CK Houston points out, it is emotionally important for Mr. Winn to get flamed, because it validates his views of himself, the board, and the stock.

But there is an irony I wish to point out. Mr. Winn attacks TPRO with postings that imply the Allan Bradley and Rockwell have programs to whip the embedded chip problem, so TPRO has serious competition. What Mr. Winn doesn't know despite all his night owl hyperactivity is that TPRO has a seat on the Allan-Bradley board <g>. When TPRO is asked to "scrap" somebody's old factory machinery, guess which products TPRO introduces with a 10% mark-up? Allen-Bradley.
