That most impressive quote you posted does indeed bring about a chemical reaction in the associative areas of the human cerebral matter. Yet to expend a few firing of neurons in such a manner is certaintly a pity - would you not agree?

Wilde also said something like, "If it's worth doing it's worth doing to excess." So, why didn't Cowpland sell the whole company short instead of a measly 25%? Ooops. Maybe he did.

John: .... of course you could be wrong. finally got religion. Can you elaborate please? Your posts usually have a grain or two of insight, as does this one. But Corel getting religion? I have been looking for any conceivable evidence of this since the JAVA catastrophe, only to be disillusioned by lies and deceit on the part of the company. You will know the company has found religion when any of these happen: i.] The Board of Directors takes strong action to regain control of the company. ii.] The company embraces less implausible accounting procedures. iii.] Dr. Cowpland is outta there. *That's what I'm looking for. And not* finding** Leo

I rarely know the price of Corel because it is always going down so fast I can't keep up. I do know, however, that the stock and company are worth nothing. Anyone who thinks differently and invests in this stock is making a VERY BIG MISTAKE and will probably lose money. Call me a cynic. But I think it is actually quite a positive sentiment when a person, with absolutely nothing to gain, goes out of his way and spends time trying to help complete strangers from losing money. If you call this kind of altruistic behavior cynical, than perhaps YOU are the cynic. Happy Investing! Vanni
