Happy days, and Dick is a meany.

David Witwer said, about my response to him, "I said in my post that "I was reading too much into everything." So your comments about "getting desperate for a price move" seem a little harsh."

I wasn't intending to be harsh at you. I was really speaking about my own feelings. I own some of this fine stock (up more than 2 this morning... it must be fine, right?) in the low 40's, and, for various reasons, don't have the ability to market-time out and back in at critical moments. Although I'm not complaining that badly... my really old shares, converted from USRX, are at a somewhat lower basis.

It was me, myself that I was picking on. Not you, or anyone else.

"I would note, however, that you need to check your facts about why the announcement was early last year. You said that it was early because of the X-mas holiday and the numbers were available."

You're right about a year ago, and I did see that data in your posting. But I believe that, if there were still channel problems, we would have heard about them even before the end of the quarter, for the same reasons that you state. I guess we'll know in a couple of weeks. These analysts are starting to sound confident... I wonder if we dare trust them?
