WOW !! Here's what knocked SI off all night: (Thanks again Bill) wired.com Got this letter from Jill: We apologize for the downtime for several hours last night, and we have posted the following message on the member login page (the URL explaining the security bug is: wired.com. "SI was offline Friday night from 8pm Eastern until 5:30am this morning. We've been attacked. We managed to identify and filter out the tampering, so SI is back on line for now..." Regards, Jill

Niels shareholders also have a job to do and share some responsibility for the state of the stock price. Some shorters were attracted to this stock because of investor hype mainly. Things are going well now and to talk about replacing BB does not help at all. Most good companies have passed thru very rough times. That does not mean that the ceo has to be replaced, only that no one man has the necessary set of abilities to navigate a companie in such a competitive field. I have no doubt that BB has made serious blunders and it seems to me that he is trying to fix them. Unfortunately some of these changes will require that he drop his "nice guy" tendencies. oh well. He no longer answers email like before. More seriously his statements lacked rigor in some instances. All in all he has demonstrated a remarkable ability to understand trends and anticipate them and this talent CLEARLY outweighs his shortcomings. He needs help and he is getting it. If DR is to remain viable on its own he will need to get more help. Read Rod's postings and you will realize that BB is not simply a well informed man but someone who can place things in their proper perspective. To systematically pick a point of view and ignore everything counter is easy but meaningless. Drakes, Techteam, Rod et al are simply wrong. Time will tell. We have 1-3 months for their game to be up. Race will indeed turn out to be a rising stock in a bear market imo.
