JC continues to pretend this is all somebody else's fault in his mindless defense of Corel. People who accuse this fellow of "pump and dump" must be the type of investors who buy an equity when it's got the buzz and then sell it when it dips. Now, would that be the prosecutors who have leveled these charges or just those behind various lawsuits? If you're trying to mask the truth here you're not doing a very good job of it. How about getting on the responsibility bandwagon. Everything is somebody else's fault with people like you. The chronic, head-in-the-sand blamers who refuse to take responsibility do investors no service. You're a yes-man with nothing of value to offer. Just the same tired rhetoric. I'm afraid you're tactics aren't working my friend. Try a little reality next time.

He strikes me as a smart guy who sincerely wants his business model succeed, long term and someone who is really making an attempt to rehabilitate his image within the investment community. There isn't a CEO out there that doesn't want his business model to succeed. Most of them would consider themselves a failure after 15 years of going nowhere during a historical period of growth. Do you wear your seatbelt or is that being pessimistic? People don't look to CEOs for child-like statements that ignore reality. People have learned to just laugh at his claims and he always ends up reinforcing that reaction with the lack of results. BTW, this lame attempt to spread false rumors about the software market being a bad place to be is evidence that you have no interest in improving your image as a plant. The software business is a bad place for Corel, but it's growing exponentially everywhere else. What a truly stupid statement the two pumps are making. I hesitate to use that word because it does not convey the sense of sincerity I'm looking for, even if it is semantically perfect. Is the hardware industry a bad place to be, too? How truly foolish. My God, you might as well say that manufacturing is a bad place to be: so that being in anything that is made is then a bad place to be: everything from Furbies to space shuttles to cosmetics. That's how massive and diverse the software industry is. Get a grip of yourself and come up with a less insulting strategy, why don't you.

Alomex>...that Cowpland is a con -artist --- JC Jaros> Did you find out he wasn't a real doctor? --- I've been in CORL since the fall of '98. In that time, I've not felt that Michael Cowpland was anything but an entrepreneur and an optimist. I found out that he's been charged with securities fraud, found out that he's been banned from trading in his company, found out that there is a settlement before the courts in which he agrees to compensate former shareholders for his pump and dump strategy.
