Carl: Your nasty little shot at Dave B. served its purpose. It pissed me off. Of all the people on this thread I think Dave has been the most honest about where he is on the issues and his stake in the outcome (personal and business). And, amazingly, when he is wrong...he admits he is wrong!!! What has he done to require you to point out his past sins on an unrelated stock? Just feeling frisky today?

Your effort to again lower the quality of discussion has succeeded. Sheesh. Just when we were all being so nice!

By the way, I advocated CREE at 60 (25 today), INTC at 55, DELL at 30, MSFT at 70. Don't I feel stupid!

Carl,

Maybe the thread is getting too nice. Okay. I can fix that. Here's Dave B getting killed on INAP,

You gotta a problem you want to discuss? What the hell is wrong with you?

Nonetheless, that would actually be my wife you want to dis. She's the one who's the friend of the people who started Internap (in fact, we actually got them together back in '94), and so the shares are in her name in an MS account. In spite of the fact that I said "I'll" hold them, the reality is that I can't touch them. I tried to get her to sell them at $40 on the way up, at $80 on the way up, and to put in a stop at the $10 that we paid for them. It was her call, and that's fine with me as the 2000 shares are such a tiny portion of our portfolio (especially now) that I really don't care.

If you'd like, I can put her in touch with you. In the meantime, what they hell were you trying to accomplish? Are you proud of yourself?

And for anyone who really wants to know pain, our friends were worth roughly $150M and $300M at the peak. Now I think it's more like $6M and $12M. Unless they sold (and I hope they did).

Take a pill, bud. In fact, take a bunch of them.
