Management has obviously chosen long term so they can entrench themselves and keep their jobs.They have a duty to shareholders and they should be held more accountable.

This is the dumbest post I have seen in a while - sounds like you are amply qualified for senior management at 3 Com - Perhaps you'd like to explain how on earth they get to $60 , hopefully without the ridiculous comments about the Higher Court.. and other BS. Also remember that even if they get to $60, that is still 75% of their all time high set back in '96 or so - think of what Cisco and Lucent have done in the meantime -

The people complaining here about Eric and COMS are not short-sighted in general. Most here have been in this stock for a long time. Many have experienced one too many misteps by Eric and the rest of COMS management. COMS had a good position and good story for many years. In the last several years, COMS shareholders have been lied to, dragged through a miserable merger decision and lived through many strategic errors by management. The fear of taking on Cisco, and articulation of an "edge" strategy which no one understands, has resulted in a company with a disparate product set with no primary flag to rally around. You need to look at COMS history a bit more closely yourself in order to understand much of the sentiment here. Most people have come to the same conclusion that you now do about COMS future, too bad for many, they made this decision years ago with no benefit. With hope, and in spite of Mgmt's inability to set a clear course, we will see a good future for this company. Tim
