wonderful investment strategy. ...In a fit of pique, the interloper rushed to employ the snappy retort, dispensing with capital letters and (gasp!) complete sentences. I'm up over 100% for the year, and Red Hat is the only software stock of any kind that I have ever purchased. I bought at 43 and sold at 68 1/2 and 80 3/4 without any qualms whatsoever. I still hold the IPO shares I got at 14. I'll do just fine, thanks. HAHA About time we got a Linux company that is publicly traded so us Microsoft investors can do a little bashing of our own! This statement is as mature as that of the dog whose next door neighbor has just mowed the lawn. "Gee, I'm sure glad they did that so I can go over and dump a nice, fresh steaming turd in the middle of the freshly mown grass." Perhaps you are trying to mark territory, and perhaps you even believe that you are fertilizing the ground. As far as this thread is concerned, though, all you have done is s**t in the middle of it, to no one's benefit except your own. I think I'll go post some inane crap on the MSFT thread. Later, Doug
