Newecomy: Actually, I think the individual Lev made the statement to was a shareholder, NOT an analyst. The guy, Fred (not the one of legend--VBG), was clearly angst driven and needing to share this with Lev. I think this kind'a set Lev off and it went downhill from there. This is not to forgive Lev's curtness and brusque attitude during the remainder of the call, as that type of shareholder "stuff" comes with the role and a CEO should be able to let it roll off his back. But this isn't also to say shareholders should "emote" in that fashion, either (it's probably because of past instances like these that its now harder for shareholders to actively participate in these calls). Bottom line? Public discourse should always remain as civil as possible. Nothing is helped by making publicly plain your desire to rip anothers throat out. This being something both political parties could stand to learn right now (heh). John~
