OT: Absolutely. I _do_ the due diligence. I'm an computer industry analyst, (not to be confused with a financial analyst). Our company interviews hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of customers to select the Crossroads A-List Award winners. 1. We start out by interviewing business people about their priorities for IT investment 2. We select likely products to match those business needs. 3. Then we interview the IT folks to see how well the products delivered the business benefits. Our due diligence does not cover financial aspects like a stock analyst would. But then most stock analysts have not spent 20 years talking to CIOs. Recently, we have more and more readers and conference participants from the line-of-business and investor side. I think the most interesting part of our research is the companies who have not yet gone public. Thanks for your interest.
