Bob, my life is focused upon making $, and my career. I'll tell you what. Direct your anger & hatred at me if you want. I'll put you on "ignore", you put me on "ignore", and then that takes care of your insecurities. Einstein said, "Small is the number of them that see with their own eyes, and feel with their own heart". To "ignore" we will put ourselves in si land. As a Christian, all I can do is love you as a brother. God bless you, Bob.

Sonny, I don't need luck. I've owned ORCL since last April @ $21 7/16 pre split. Good luck with your SEBL and PHCM. You'll need it. Larry

I've read "The Difference Between...", and I didn't come away with as negative an impression as you apparently did. The sales mess was bad all right, but I think that it's possible to see it as terrible judgement and huge ego rather than his being "a crook". I know people that worked at Oracle through the late 80's, and most of them rather like LE. I know a woman who dated him, too, and she speaks well of him after the fact. He's not someone I'd want my daughter to marry, because I don't think that he's very well-adjusted (I would assume that most multi-billionaires aren't, since most well-adjusted people would stop driving themselves by the time they had their first billion). But I don't think that he's a bad person, just not good husband material. Even Tom Siebel said nice things to me about LE the one time I talked to Tom for any length of time. I think that you have the wrong idea about LE, but my connection is all quite indirect, so I don't really know.
