Scott You really should take the time to understand that the problem at Novell has always been incompetent management. From the very time when they decided they couldn't compete with Microsoft for end user attention through to the failure to bring in someone other than a Nelson roommate to run up his career with digitalme. They never listened to you Scott and you never understood why. They strung you along honey. You still don't seem to understand the bad management you functioned under. I really feel sorry for you that you spent your whole career at Novell and never had the opportunity to compare management at different companies through your first hand working experience. To see you suck up to Nelson in desperation was vvery disappointing. TO see you praise his style of management was even worse. And you did internalize these bad management habits. To blame Eric when he pushed forward a whole set of internet initiatives and to excuse Nelson for failure to execute on any strategy other than self-aggrandizement is bizarre behavior. Deprogram yourself. Perhaps you will step back from your involvement with the good ole boys and liberate yourself from the box they put you in? In any case I think this back and forth discussion has played itself out and isn't of interest to Novell investors anymore. After all Nelson is history. Thank God! And I believe you are working for some company other than Novell? And we Novl investors have what we wanted --- a promise of management change from Stone. If he delivers the stock will trade at 7 plus.
