Re: 10/16/02 - [WIN] Winn-Dixie: LIBEL WILL NO LONGER BE TOLERATED LIBEL WILL NO LONGER BE TOLERATED by: corporate_general_counsel 10/16/02 11:52 am Msg: 20723 of 20766 It has come to our attention that there have been a number of messages posted on this message board over the past several weeks questioning the accuracy of our company's financial statements and the financial well being of our firm. This is not the place to respond in detail to those allegations other than to say that our company has a long history of current, accurate and complete financial disclosure and we believe the allegations are without foundation in fact. Only a bare few weeks ago our CEO filed the sworn certifications that the SEC has recently required of the country’s largest companies. The company's certifications were given without qualification or restatement of any of our SEC filings or financial statements. We have taken and continue to take our reporting obligations to our shareholders, employees, and governmental regulators very seriously. The messages recently posted on this message board, if taken seriously, would obviously have the effect of dampening the price of our shares. We suspect, but do not know for certain, that the purpose of the messages was just that - to depress the price of company stock. If that was done for purposes of personal gain, it would be a very serious offense. We have today initiated legal action to determine the source of, and ultimately the motivation behind, these messages. We will (as we have in the past) pursue such litigation aggressively to protect our shareholders and the reputation of our billion dollar company. J.

Thats 35m a qtr..If they paid the old Div. what would we have made? I have been with WD for 35 years...Never seen such a pitiful stock price..Pitiful DIV....
