I have clearly stated that I am not posting as an "official representative" of NOVL. I have not been sent here to reassure the .2% of shares that my guess is you collectively own (which is an enormously generous estimation), not counting my own shares and options. I am posting, well, mostly because it's personally interesting to get an outsiders view of NOVL, and to try to inject some reality into what I saw was an environment ripe with pure speculation. I really could care less whether or not you believe that I am a NOVL employee, and I am NOT going to be cajoled into "proving" myself to you. Further, I will not do ANYTHING to compromise my anonymity. I have already revealed more than was necessary. I am not your conduit to effect your vision of change within NOVL. The amount of armchair quarterbacking going on on this board is nearly laughable. As though any one person could solve the problems of a 6000 person nearly-two-billion-dollar company just by making assertions. That said, post away.

Captain, Your point about him using caution is exactly one of the reasons why I changed my thoughts on him being a Novell employee. I work for IBM and, even using an anonymous ID here, I would not post any rumours, including that IBM was either being bought by or buying another company. From Kilo's posts that I have read, I have concluded that he is not a stupid person. So I would have to also conclude that a Novell employee (at any level) would not spread acquisition rumours. Captain, maybe Kilo can explain why his SI email ID points to a company called "brian@Solix.com"? Why would a Novell employee be receiving emails from another company's email system - unless he/she is moonlighting)? Again, Kilo might have valid explanations for this, but my gut feel is that he/she is a person that knows a lot about Novell from some source (maybe a well connected relative or friend) yet he/she is not a Novell employee. Cheers! Toy
