Peter, I agree it is a shame how immaturity can infest a good forum to share thoughts. Some how my name got mixed into the pot. My post was indeed provocative and for this I apologize. I don't indeed to provoke with my words. I have only got power very recently and noticed your link. After reading the trash on Yahoo and the insults thrown at my friends on this thread I decided to respond. I was bothered and posted what I felt to be, words needed to be said. To the participants who reject this behaviour, I am with you! Mr. Bean

<It appears that things went down hill very quick after that> "Yeah, well he started it Dad!" Peter, I don't know why you feel the need to apologize. It was only a matter of time before the two threads crossed. You hastened the process with your web prowess. The original Yahoo Message Board Participants can thank Mr. or Ms. _98 for the new business on the Yahoo thread. It was _98 who threw out the bait. Now _98 doesn't know what to do with the fish he's got. Or does he? You must know that Vanni has plenty of notoriety on SI. People follow him around just to see what he's up to ( just like the people who stop to look at car wrecks.) Could it be that _98 is trying to garner more interest in the Yahoo Corel thread and his own _98 blend of news for Woos, perspective and a touch of hype? Regards, Kurt P. Hype+Hype=Two Hypes for the price of one.

A note to Connexus_98, Rochon, and anyone else at Yahoo: It has come to my attention that someone is pretending to be me in Yahoo investing threads. Let me say that I do not have the capacity to post at Yahoo investing threads. I never have, and I never will. Someone is pretending to be me. Please encourage them to stop this. It is not correct behavior, and it will lead to a lot of confusion. My message to the person who is using my name: Please stop. Invent your own character to participate in on-line investing discussions. Thank you very much. Happy Investing! Vanni

Peter: It seems most appropriate to post this as a response to yours. to the long time members of the Yahoo Corel Thread I wish to add my expression of sympathy and regret to Peter's. And I sincerely hope you can find some humor in the situation and recover from the invasion of bogus impersonators of persons who post on SI. While I do not condone the immature behaviour we have witnessed, I would note that your thread is not entirely blameless in the matter. I was openly flamed on your board as were several other SI members. This thread was declared dead with some agreement. I think it as unlikely to be dead as the reasons listed for its supposed decline. May better times lie ahead for all of us. Leo
