Hi Tom Swift; All kidding aside, I know that paid bashers exist. I saw the link that explained it all. It was obvious. The whole idea is to scare little old ladies and naive yuppies out of their brilliant stock buys. Then you can pick up the shares cheap. Shareholders are almost never well organized enough to get a good cert call going, and since that's the only thing that can halt these short sellers, they can pretty much do their dirty work with impunity. I am disgusted! -- Carl P.S. And anyway, it's obvious who's telling the truth. Who're you going to believe? An upstanding pillar of the community, issuing precisely factual press releases, never exaggerating or using foul language? Someone with the trust of the board of directors, always concentrating on their financial duty to maximize shareholder value? Or some secretive nobody, hiding behind an alias, inclined to quote useless numbers, boring guys who probably like to talk to accountants, and don't even own suits.
