Steve, Doug asked you a reasonable question, answered your points in a reasonable manner. I don't see any reason to get sarcastic. Joe

Steve, The only reason I've been asking is because I'd noticed that all your posts had been negative, yet phrased in this "I was just wondering if X was available?" wait-for-No-response-and-then "That's horrible! What have I done buying this stock?!" sort of way. Then you said you were long, and explained that you went long thinking that you'd be playing 64-bit Half-Life 2 on Windows XP 64 at Christmas. Then you said that you really screwed up. Yet the stock is near its 52-week high. There's no way you could've lost more than a few %, and if you bought in more than 1 week ago, you've made money. And why would someone so relentlessly negative still be holding the stock? It just doesn't add up. Would you care to explain more about when you supposedly went long, and why you're so upset, and still holding the stock? As I said, I don't mind skeptical voices (that add something to the dialog), but the pretending-to-be-long routine just seems childish. Doug
