Mike, -you wrote "Dropping a bomb before an IPO is frowned upon, but we know the fierce power of the SEC is a joke." Sorry if I wasn't clear. Back when BRCD was about to IPO, ANCR, their main competitor, announced a OEM deal with Sun Microsystems. So it wasn't the IPO'ing company that 'dropped the bomb'. Similarly, in the case of next week's AONE IPO, it won't be AONE coming out with any big announcements, rather it might be ALTI. The timing certainly couldn't be better anyway. craig
