Lighten up Robert. You're taking this thread way *too* seriously. No one is trying to discredit Henry. Talk about immaturity. Are these not your word...." naysaying dorks? Wow! If I'm not mistaken, I think those are the words of an immature person. No mature person I know uses the word DORK. And when did Henry hire you to be his defense lawyer? But I must say, I do get a good laugh from reading your posts. Your adamant effort to shield Henry from any remark you deem inappropriate is quite hilarious. TaTa, Fugazi Ligand.

< Jealousy is miserable disease. > It is. But look for a press release soon about a new off-label use for one of Lygand's drugs.... < Henry, either the naysaying dorks on this thread can't read... > < For those that have trouble with reading comprehension... > Well, I can't believe this name calling! Now on to our reading comprehension lesson: -- Message #15387: A press release: "...today announced the election ... of James R. Mirto, Vice President Marketing and Business Development, to officer of the corporation." -- Message #15388: Henry opines, "Promotion of the director of marketing and sales is a good sign that Ligand expects him to be VERY busy in the upcoming months." (Note carefully: In the press release the person's title is "Marketing and Business Development." In Henry's spin message it gets changed to "marketing and sales." Hmmmm.) -- Message #15391: I then posted a message saying that maybe this promotion was just a promotion, not a "sign." Now here's the problem. You bring up an entirely different press release about a newly created position, call people dorks, criticize their reading comprehension and just rail on anyone who would dare to criticize Henry's comments about it. Of course, no one ever did.
