<When PAIR was down and out last
June and July, there were almost daily posts on the PAIR
thread calling for Charles Straugh (sp?)'s replacement,
mentioning how wooden he was, and incompetent at PR.

I agree that everyone mentioned he is a lousy PR guy (Istill think so) but I don't think anyone EVER doubted that the guy knew how to run the company. Their relationships with the RBOCs is unparalled so maybe Chuck is better one on one than he is in front of a camera :O)

I agree. And it is not just about individual stocks; it applies to entire stock-markets and economies! Remember how, in the eighties, everyone was praising the Japanese to high heavens? Now, of course, everyone says the Japanese have mismanaged their economy! :-)
