<I took a bunch of heat last year, when I wrote an article that suggested that if one subtracted the earnings provided by the acquisitions in each quarter, Cisco'e earnings were from the Emperor"s Fashion house. Good to have company on this one.> I hear what you're saying, but don't analysts just look at cash flow when there are large goodwill chargeoffs anyway, and hence the paradigm would just shift?? For instance I think cash flow analysis vs earnings is what should be looked at with the gas industry right??? DAK
