Tom, management was given a few chances at the shareholder meeting to warn. They insisted (paraphrased) "doesn't our silence tell you something?"

REThe better off they believe they are, the more that they play hardball. Interesting theory.

Thomas: ...if WCOM knows that its Q2 numbers will be good....the better off they believe they are, the more that they play hardball. Perhaps, perhaps. One thing's for sure. There's a hell of a poker game going on between all parties, though for now WCOM is getting slapped around by the other players as if it was a rank amateur. I guess we'll know the truth of the cards soon enough. But speaking of Q2. To my mind Q2 isn't the important aspect....well....mostly. Heh! It's the forward guidance that's going to be the important aspect. In any event I'm watching the game and waiting for something substantive to occur.... John~
