Thanks Bob -- if I understand, you are saying that there is strong corporate oversight and perhaps influence in many cases -- but that Henry is a bit of a loose cannon and its hard to tell. Legal liability must be an issue, not to mention customer satisfaction -- perhaps he was urged to cover the corporate 'rear-end' but did so in a loose cannon way? Thanks for giving me some insight into corporate practice on this issue.

Well, those comments don't seem to be having the same effect as Ballmer's stupidity. Globex looks pretty flat. So, we have bad comments from Blodget, a newspaper devoted to taking Intel down this weekend (Barons) and we have a flat Globex. I'll take that.

Bob/all/OT,:"language usage". How come the '4-letter-word' has not been given a normal-usage-status on written material yet. I watch a movie, and this guy (a shortie and real estate salesman), amazingly in one of his sentence, the subject, object, verb and anything he said that should be more than 4-letters, he (whoever wrong this) used that xxxxing-word. I'm almost certain there is no xxxxing movie from xxxxing xxxxlywood that does not have that xxxxing xxxx word. What the xxxx is xxxxing on in America? Just doesn't make xxxxing no xxxxing sense? I'm sorry, Sex/money, what's wrong with that? I need to see a hollywood doctor. I think I'm so disconnect from the real world. With the advent of 'virtaul space', I'm dead. Vitual profit, virtual metrics, virtual CEO, virtaul analysts. I think we need to lose electricity for a couple of months. Is that enough to cause a 'start over'?
