LOL. Not bitter at all. I don't like the losses that the market has taken any more than anyone else. But I'm not carrying margin and am actually buying on the way down, so I'm actually happy that I'm getting this buying opportunity. But I have to tell you that believing that Sycamore has a lock on talent is ludicrous. There is just too much talent to go around. And just because you and I have so many friends who have hit the lottery, that does not mean it is easy. For whatever reason, you and I have been lucky to be in the center of things. The other 85% have not. Many of that 85% are just as talented as you and I. More than ever Cisco is expanding outside of Silicon Valley in its recruitment efforts to tap into that pool of talent outside of Silicon Valley. To those folks, a chance with Cisco is all they've ever dreamed of. Anyway, we can drop it now, but just remember anchoring on the most recent and memorable events in your life does not make it a fact outside of your life's sphere of perception. That's just common sense in statistical circles. PS Gary, I just like a good fight every now and then. It keeps these threads fun! :)
