No big deal! I agree JDN 100%: Message 11772706 "This fellow sound a little loony to me. I am a retired CPA and I dont have the time to carefully go through that URL in detail but just skimming it I would say he is throwing up some BUZZ words etc. The bottom line is MSFT is audited by one of the largest CPA firms in the World. Having been a Partner in one of them (not that one) I can assure you that a client of that magnitude draws incredible review from independent partners and the very best staff gets assigned. If it was as clear cut as he indicates the CPA's would howl. If everything is being done according to GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) then whether you like it or not its OK. I do not own any MSFT stock so am not trying to defend a position, merely make some common sense of this. JDN Message 11772706

Just thought the thread might be interested in a spam and bogus message that found its way into my email. Another campaign of dysinformation being foisted upon MSFT. DOJ is probably working with the CIA to bring Bill down after he went for their budget. It would be nice if the SEC or Neukom can find the joker that started this and sue him/her into infinity. Subject: Microsoft and AOL merger. I am forwarding this because the person who sent it to me is a good friend and does not send me junk. Microsoft and AOL are now the largest Internet company and in an effort make sure that Internet explorer remains the most widely used program, Microsoft and AOL are running an e-mail beta test. When you forward this e-mail to friends, Microsoft can and will track it (if you are a Microsoft Windows user) for a two week time period. For every person that you forward this e-mail to, Microsoft will pay you $245.00, for every person that you sent it to that forwards it on, Microsoft will pay you $243.00 and for every third person that receives it, you will be paid $241.00. Within two weeks, Microsoft will contact you for your address and then send you a check.=A0 I thought this was a scam myself, but two weeks after receiving this e-mail and forwarding it on, Microsoft contacted me for my e-mail and within days, I received a check for $24800.00.
