Scott. I know you're not going to answer me but whatever. >> I remembered seeing a post which indicated at John Young was no longer getting $10k per week, however this issues continues to waste bandwidth here and is represented in a variety of ways. I can understand frustration to a degree, but the comments on this thread cover a wide range of accuracy. << Bring it up Scott. Show me. No such post exists. The leech John Young continues to rape the shareholders and the company. This is not an issue of wasting bandwidth. Cowpland sold 20 million of his stock 2 weeks before Corel tanked (and a whole lotta other Corel insiders did also). You gonna tell me he as CEO didn't have the "numbers"? Gimmie a break. Bring the post up. The sucker is still raking in the 10 grand. Period. Steve said: >> > I think this company is dirty. I think you know it.<< You responed: >> I think I recognize that you see it this way ... I'm glad to say that I do not feel this way. I do see a bunch of humans that have made some interesting decisions in the past ... but sometimes I try not to second-guess everything that I don't have the full details on. Maybe there is a good reason for the information to be kept secret. Just maybe ..<< The company's dirty Scott. No maybe's about it. Why does David Bradford and Glen Ricart keep dumping their stock? They don't seem to have too much faith in their (your) company. Why should the stockholders? You didn't answer me on this one (and you won't will you?). There not just dumping a few months ago, but recently and consistently. The company's dirty Scott, and like Steve says --- you know it. Steve said: >> Further his ex right hand man, Marengi, is on the Novonyx Board. << Scott said: >> I would have expected that some Novell executive would have been appointed to the board upon the creation of the company ... your preference would have been? << Read our white paper again Scott. The suggestions for the Novell Board were and are just as good for the Novonyx board. This IMO (and a lot of other people -- is a "obvious stunt" to take care of the "the good ole' boyz". You don't like to hear what I have to say --- too bad. The company's dirty. ===================================================================== Novell's stuck in inertia. You're going nowhere. Watch the results of COMDEX. Report on the headcount and interest at your booths, and MSFT's, and IBM's, and LOTUS's, etc. Lemme know when the big "splash" hits the enterprise. (It ain't comin' Scott. You guys are in "spiral mode" --- read: WANG)

Hi Scott, Some things to consider on Novonyx: 1. Novell made no secret of the finiancial arangements of the deal they set up with Corel when they sold Word Perfect. 2. Novell has made no secret of the planned technology concerning Novonyx. 3. The only competitive edge that could possibly be gained by not disclosing the details of the agreement would be if it were a prelude to a merger. IMO Novell/Netscape would be a very powerful combination and a gift from the gods to shareholders of both companies in terms of potential revenue growth. The conspicuous lack of information surrounding the Novonyx deal makes the PR releases look like hog wash. The only thing I'm sure of is that the available information does not add up. A merger I'm in favor of. Novell getting a percentage of Novonyx profits, I'm in favor of. Novell setting up a company to compete with Novell products, and with free access to Novells' channel and customer base, I'm against. Regards, Don
