Douglas,
Of course,
I was speaking about you.
It appears you have some real problems. A few days ago, you were egging people on to buy:
"You guys -- let the naysayers and shorts say the darkest stuff they can muster. Then go ahead and use any resultant dips to buy. Be selfish. So what if some scared people sell their shares? Buy them for yourself!"

"The rest of us just sit and wait for the 20's."

Now, you say:
"My current belief is that not only will interest in y2k and embedded systems *decrease* in the next 12 months, but that the facts will begin to show less and less of any real threat to business as usual. My NYTimesSyndie column will indicate this."
"As the owner of only half my original stake, I have some of the sadness of having missed out on the full benefits of the rise. On the other hand, having paid myself back completely for the initial investment, and having used that money to get a country house, I can't feel too terrible, either.
Congrats to all. It's kind of funny watching y'all discuss short vs. long-term capital gains! (If you hold until y2k, you won't have to worry about that, anyway, because the IRS system will have crashed.)"

My guess is that you are now very confused. You couldn't be short, because you have always tried to convince us what an ethical guy you are!
Ha, <g>
Steve
