Tuck, if "no preferential dividend" means anything other than "no dividend unless the common gets one", and if "customary adjustments" means anything other than adjustments for splits and the like, then we'll have a whole new set of law suits. But, that won't happen because these terms have very clear, widely understood meanings and no reputable company would misuse them in such a blatantly misleading way. Re patent disputes and billable hours, again you are worrying about nothing. First, S1's success does not depend on winning patent disputes - they have plenty of big customers, many of whom are committed enough to invest huge sums in them. Second, little in the legal world happens over night - that doesn't mean some lawyer's clock is ticking off the dollars. Most of the time is spent waiting - waiting for a response from the other side - waiting for a hearing - waiting for rulings. Finally, re the class action, estimates are estimates and guidance is guidance - neither are guarantees. These "lawyers" don't need facts or even convincing evidence to file these kinds of suits. All they need is a high profile stock that has fallen out of bed. Bob
