Reggie,

>>I'll ignore your crass attempt at attacking my character and take the time to point something out to you.

Excellent how the so-called character attack reference is supported post-conjunction by a pompous participle.

>>Have you ever loss money on NSCP?

No, actually never owned the stock which is why it is pointless for people to continue blaming all Microsoft anti-trust breaches as a "lobbying" effort by investors of one of the many companies they happen to be screwing over at any given moment.

>>Why isn't the NSCP mgmt. to blame for attepting to fight battles in a Washington lobby rather than in the software market?

Get real; no company can compete against dumping on a 95% distribution channel. By your logic: Why isn't MSFT mgmt. to blame for all the piracy in China? Why do they go crying to the Feds rather than find a way to compete in the Chinese software market?

>>Assuming the asset sales and shifting of financial reporting period is true, why isn't NSCP being held accountable for purposeful misrepresentation of operating results? You call me a whiner while this company decrees to the public that they are doing alright (or at least better) when they are getting whipped. When your brokerage account heads south due to the fact that you thought NSCP mgmt was being straightforward with thier operating results, you just remember not to whine.

When MSFT stops charging billion-dollar stock buys in cable as "Research" then maybe we can compare the two accounting depts. and see which is the more honest.

Once again, it is not the software industry that is on trial here! It is a single company who has continually pushed its dealings until it finally, blatantly brought an anti-trust investigation onto itself. If anything bad happens to the software industry, you have the arrogance of Microsoft to blame for it all.

Shifting attention to NSCP really shows that you have nothing to say in defense of Microsoft and are attempting to divert the attention of the issues. I suppose STAC was also responsible for dirty lobbying tactics in Washington even though they ultimately WON their case against MSFT. It is all part of the same conspiracy and I am sure you have the evidence available in Word97 format only.

Cheers,

Norm
