One more time and one LAST time: I do NOT comment on the work of my colleagues. I do not represent management. Do you have some specific problem with something *I* have done on the air? THAT I can comment on. Nothing else.

And I see that when you are at a loss, you resort to name calling and ad hominum attacks. Sure doesn't help you make your case.

You have had ample opportunity to ask for the email addresses and phone numbers that would put you in touch with the proper people. I don't know who you have been faxing or calling. I do have the right numbers. You still haven't asked for them. You have some other agenda and I won't be a part of it.

I have avoided this board for quite some time because of your kind of hectoring. I naively thought I could come back and engage in some chit chat with posters. Apparently not.

Cheers.

As a disinterested third party, I also must have missed the question in your post...you do make some statements and suppositions, suggest that there have been some errors ala ALTN and ADSP, make some assertions regarding the devious things that analysts do in cahoots with CNBC, state the fact that you're a short seller and that no one at CNBC will speak to you, but no real question posed to Ted other than the following:

"And why don't we see Costello much on big down days if you are bringing both sides of the story?"

Is this what all the fuss is about? Also, don't you think it's a bit disingenuous to state that CNBC has made you loads of money (meaning you must watch these guys) and then go on to express your disgust with the network and the individuals who have helped you make money? Me, I'd be thanking them, not cursing them.

Bear Down, I used to call up CNBC back in the mid-1990's, to help correct some of their mistakes, but they never appreciated it or responded in any way. You can lead a "horse" to water, but you can't make them drink.

Reread my post and see if you are capable of an intelligent response addressing the individual issues instead of your all encompassing, pompous ass reply.
That about says it all, but I am afraid that you are asking for a bit too much! Yogi
