RE: VGCP
If you were influenced by C. Lawrence Perkins recent post, continue to read on, if not, just skip this post.
I'll echo the sentiment publicly: my hat's off to you SW, great thread, great respect for the posters and their integrity, it's such a refreshing change.
"To: C. Lawrence Perkins: Interesting comments, but still no substantiation.
1.The graph you linked to (www.bigcharts.com/intchart/frames/frames.asp?symb=VGCP)does not support your contention and I challenge you to explain exactly why this graph supports your statement.
2. VGCP is not a hardware company (nor are they a software company for that matter) - if anything, they are a "middleware" company offering internet service.
3. Litigation? Where?
Spoke with Bill Fossen who writes: "You can quote me as the Chairman, President and CEO of the Company that Viking has "no" legal action against it or any legal actions pending and does not know of any or believe that any legal action is or will be taken against our Company in the near future."
Furthermore, your comment that the company will be distracted by non-existent litigation is not realistic. As at litigator, my clients are hardly distracted by litigation (in fact, I often wish they had more interest!).
4. Re: <you don't seem to have an historical perspective on how quickly the life-cycle of computer hardware is turning over and the pace is accelerating>. No argument, but perhaps you have VGCP confused with a hardware company.
4. You misused the word "aspersions"aspersion \As*per"sion\, n. [L. aspersio, fr. aspergere: cf. F. aspersion.] 1. A sprinkling, as with water or dust, in a literal sense. Behold an immersion, not and aspersion. --Jer. Taylor. 2. The spreading of calumniations reports or charges which tarnish reputation, like the bespattering of a body with foul water; calumny. Every candid critic would be ashamed to cast wholesale aspersions on the entire body of professional teachers. --Grote. Who would by base aspersions blot thy virtue. --Dryden.
Your "aspersions" are not well founded; I was merely asking for substantiation.
