WOW! I for one appreciate your response! Let met translate? He could(sic) give a f^%#$%#$ f^%$#%$ what I own or don't. I have no ability to influence him at all. HE DOESN'T GIVE A F...IN RATS F...IN ASS!!! James, you now have the opportunity...if you like to address this forum! Maybe, ASND would be a good buy since a bottom has been formed...inconjuunction with their continued business ties and future potential given the I-Net climate...what do you think? Jeff P.S. Pretty much well said!!! James J. Cramer is manager of a hedge fund and co-chairman of TheStreet.com.

"Last week WorldCom shocked Wall Street with its attempt to buy a much larger MCI. This week Starwood Lodging is buying ITT. Forget everything you have heard about synergy or tax advantages or economies of scale. These deals are just plain wrong. They are bad policy and they amount to a cavalier view of the business cycle. They are especially bad deals from the point of view of the Fed. To Greenspan these two acquisitions smack of creeping Japanism, allowing companies to use equity in ways that are reckless and ill-conceived. WorldCom and Starwood are financial buyers indulging in the stock market's current passion for synergy, without respect to the limits of the economy or the danger of debt./i

>>>I don't trade the stock any more.<<< That's because you have admitted yourself that you can never get it right...we day traders mop the floor with ASND -- it's not that difficult, especially considering your access to information and resources either official or unofficial. I really have to wonder why it is that you have such a terrible time trading ASND when it is probably one of the easiest and most-favored trading stocks around! Do you employ any TA at all, or consider mass psychology? >>> I do not even go over to 2 rector Street, where they are located. I can't get an article written about a stock any more or less than anybody else and I am forbidden from discussing individual stocks with any staff member including the editor-in-chief. I have no ability to influence him at all.<<< Whether you write the articles or not, you certainly DO have the ability to influence what is written through the content of your quoted statements. >>>Oh, and by the way, if I catch any more of your libel on this site, I will be happy to meet you face to face about it. Guess where?<<< Libel? HA! Andrew's personal opinion of you is within the realm of his constitutionally protected free speech and you know it. He has not accused you of anything criminal and/or scandalous...he just called you a moron. That is within his right to freedom of expression and does nothing to harm your professional career or reputation. Spare us the baseless flexing of legal muscle...what are you going to do, tell the judge: "He called me a bad name!"....? You've gotten too used to the media and dull-witted masses of brainless Wall Street lemmings kissing your butt. You better get used to the fact that not everyone is going to have a rosy thing to say about you, and the ones that don't have every right to express themselves as the ones whose compliments you no doubt enjoy daily. Do you really think you are entitled to any better treatment than the rest of us? Besides...what about me? I put you on the same soapbox as Kramer from Seinfeld! And if that was a THREAT to the fellow you were addressing, how about making it to someone who cares? I'm still young enough to remember my shady years before I began investing, and I'd be glad to take Andrew's place...pull my profile, note my email address, and come on down...I'm always up for a little fisticuffs. If you meant legal action...don't waste my time. Style Pts.

<<<<Andy and the rest of you guys: I found this posting to be humorous and of course insulting. Let me tell you the way I work. I work at Crame, Berkowitz, not www.thestreet.com. I do not even go over to 2 rector Street, where they are located. I can't get an article written about a stock any more or less than anybody else and I am forbidden from discussing individual stocks with any staff member including the editor-in-chief. I have never met the fellow who covers this tech group and never spoken to him. He could give a f^%#$%#$ f^%$#%$ what I own or don't. I have no ability to influence him at all. Not only that, but it might shock you to know that I like Ascend and throughout this period when you criticized me I was long it and not trading the stock or mentioning it. I just felt it too stupid for words that you would attack me when I was in the same position you were. I don't trade the stock any more. Oh, and by the way, if I catch any more of your libel on this site, I will be happy to meet you face to face about it. Guess where? James J. Cramer, co-chairman, thestreet.com>>> Hahaha.. This is halirous! If this is really the James Cramer of street.com, then I'm honored you even responded. And if what you are saying is the truth, then I apologize for what I said. I still think you're too hyper and loud, but if you are long ASND, I'll apologize for assuming you were short it. I've heard TheStreet.com was very bearish on ASND, so I assumed since it was your little company, that you'd be bearish about it too. Mea calpa. If you're really long, we'd like to hear some bullish comments from you, on why you think ASND should be LONGED. Andy. P.S. James, what happened to Dave's "Bull Session"? I enjoyed that program and I don't see it anymore.
