That was as diplomatic as I knew how to put it, JKS. Have a good weekend.

And here is how another nervous eLONGated stock holder treats those who disagree with their sacred (underwater?) investment: OPEN QUOTE and UNEDITED: From: RBruns 4/20/2000 Are you short ELON? Sure seems like you are trying to bash the stock for your gain? Oshman said on the CC that they expect to ship "thousands' of the iLon's co-branded with Cisco. Why are you trying to talk ELON down if not for your personal gain? At first I thought you were a reasonable individual, now I think you and Brownfinger have ulterior motives. You aren't even listening to the information available.. [(then this "gent" cuts and pastes the very Press Release I so thoughtfully posted on this thread in NON-FIXED FONT to ease the reading for other ELONers... GO FIGURE!)] MY REPLY: 4/20/2000 No, I am not short ELON. I AM a reasonable individual who thinks this stock is overpriced and have consistently said so for over 3 months now, especially for being a widget maker. I'm a college graduate many times over, and a classically trained cost accountant who looks harder at numbers than I do rosy outlook press releases. So nice of you to drop in and insult my intelligence just because we have a difference of opinion over ELON. Have a nice day. FROM: RBruns 4/21/2000 Your posts are insulting to all the readers trying to understand the technology and the business model of Echelon. I teach at a University, and I would fail any student who presumed to pass off such pseudo half-assed analysis of a company with an excellent business model and intellectual property patents as you and Brownfinger have tried to do on SI. Your one point trending, rear view generalizations are ridiculous and insulting to any reader. "Widgets" is highly insulting to the men and women of Echelon who have patented Intellectual Property that will change the world in the very near future. You didn't even bother to listen to the conference call or you wouldn't try to pass off such banal patter. You and Brownfinger are my first "Ignores" in many years of reading SI. Why don't you two go to a gold thread and quit wasting everyone's time? Have a nice day I KNOW YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS, BUT I DIDN'T BOTHER TO REPLY. I decided to post his insults publically since he is in such heavy need of "group support"
