Hello zwolff, > Ok, so now are we going to discuss the (for investors > mostly useless) minutiae of who gets the credit for what > inside NOVLs development teams? Actually, you have no idea how important this is ... for investors! There are large numbers of Novell employees who read this message board to get an "outside" perspective of the company, it's strategy, and it's future. They are interested in reading about peoples opinions on Novell, and helping them to better understand what's going on. So when these employees see their products talked about, it's nice to know that posters recognize the work that has been put into them ... and see the value. One thing that seems to still be rampant in Novell is the constant grabbing of credit for other peoples projects ... and I don't believe that this is good for general morale. So it is important the the right teams, who really produce, get credit for what they do. I believe that this will only help to motivate those teams more ... which has an indirect effect on the productivity of the company ... which helps share prices! ;-) Give credit where credit is due ... Novell all too often decides to screw it's own employees in order to put the right "marketing spin" on something ... Scott C. Lemon
