chalu: Look at your own posts to Bob:

<<You can get this, however, by subtracting the first 9 mos. of
numbers from the full year numbers. I can't believe you don't know this, and that you haven't done this already
if you would "really like" these numbers as much you say. >>

<< Not only are you picky, you are wrong. You did not thoroughly read the 10-K. ... the company's basis for stating its diluted EPS is there for all careful readers to see. I think you
may owe this company an apology >>

I don't think the tone there was very nice. Then you wrote

<<I still don't understand the puzzlement over the 4Q results by people claiming expertise in this stock. If you
knew the results for the first three quarters, then you know the results for the fourth quarter--it's really that
simple. By the way, every analyst knows this number--it took me 3 seconds to find on Yahoo; the fourth
quarter EPS was 19 cents per share, way higher than the analysts' consensus estimate of 11 cents per share.
That's right, IFCI beat analysts' estimates. >>

Which is hilarious. A classic really: You lecture us about how simple it is, and then you get it completely wrong.

<< petty name-calling is a sign of bad breeding >>

I agree. But it wasn't petty. Your tone to Bob and the board was arrogant. You were ignorant of Q4 EPS (worse, you were off by a huge amount). Arrogant + ignorant = arrogant ignoramus. The name was fully deserved.

Note the award was only for last night; plenty of time to redeem yourself.
