Okay Jim,

You got me to go out and buy puts. I have been trying to short the thing for 5 straight days, and cannot get any shares. Now I have the morons on e.Schwab web trading telling me that I cannot put my name on a waiting list, even though I have done it many times in the past. (I don't know how many of you use Schwab, but e.Schwab through Streetsmart is 1000 times better than e.Schwab through the web. On the that latter, the connections are frequently horrible, and the reps are reliably moronic.) So, I took the put plunge, although I am quite confident about this thing in the long run. I just could not afford to sit on the pot anymore when so much shit is hitting the AOL fan. Hey, for all you out there who like a good short, take a look at Copytele on SI and elsewhere. It will be well worth your effort in laughs even if you decide not to take the plunge. (Sorry for the plug, but it is really hysterical.)
