Thanks Matt. I agree with everything you wrote and also will add that these nuts that come around to kick someone when they are down will get their just desserts at some point: Karma. I don't know which is more discouraging: the LU preannouncement or this ugly side of human nature. Clay

Personally I value his observations, even if he can't see into the future. Not only can he NOT see into the future, he seems to be a lacky for LU managememt. In plain English-- he is a tool. They lie to him (that is unforgiveable) and they seem to have done it twice now. I believe that seriously affects his credibility and it does'nt say very much for your judgement either. I call those blind fools.

As you can guess, I have been quite busy tonight, talking to mgmt and sell-siders. I actually don't think it will turn out as bad as you might think, particularly for long-term holders. Guidance going forward is very aggressive - 25-30% top-line growth in the second half. For perspective, look at NT's history - this time last year, it was a pariah on the street, then look what happened. For those who are on margin - I feel very bad for all of you, and apologize if my comments pushed anyone too far out on the limb. For those who come here to flame and gloat - shame on you.
