Every so often I skim the RB AZNT thread and find a post worth repeating: By: LevelHead $$$$ Reply To: 72162 by InvalidSender1 $$$ Thursday, 14 Sep 2000 at 11:50 PM EDT Post # of 72345 Note the change in basis in Dobry's post: Previously, he described a "one-for-one" exchange with shares of stock in the new, ah, company. On this basis, it would not matter what the AZNT share was worth. Now, however, we are hearing a new story. The shares of AZNT would be traded for shares in the new company based on their VALUE. In other words, you can get $100 "worth" of whatever the latest Brazilian sucker bet is for $100 worth of AZNT stock (however many thousands of shares that takes) -- and if you asked them nicely, they'd probably even take $100 worth of, well, dollars. By tomorrow or so, Dobry will have forgotten that he ever said otherwise. By the day after that, he will be accusing someone else of saying it. By another day or so, he will be lumping anyone who comments about this into the "mobster" category, as if he knew anything about such things. Dobry is an interesting case to me. I've observed him for many tens of thousands of posts, and I am pretty fair at reading between the lines as well. Most of the time, he is successful at convincing himself that his current story is the real truth. This is a form of insanity, but this will surprise no one who has observed him for any period of time, even his "friends". The more interesting facet, to me, is the occasional period where he is unsuccessful in this self-delusion, and struggles briefly with his conscience. It does not last long, and the process speaks volumes about him. He's an intriguing subject on a dissection table, and occasionally good for the odd, humorous outsight (well, what would YOU call the opposite of an insight?). He is, however, a poor substitute for a human being. The humanity is missing, and even when he is "on your side", you know how ephemeral this situation is. Rather like a double agent in war; what can be bought can be bought again. In Dobry's case, it is a continual stream of self-delusion -- it certainly fails to convince others for very long.
