Seren, I found your post to Toy Soldier (Scott Lemon?)regarding your summary of the likes of myself and this board disappointing and insulting. You sound like you're really getting caught up in all this. I and others have raised many valid concerns that you choose to ignore. This is fine, but I for one would appreciate not being bashed or complained about for tracking and watching the issues that put Novell where it is, along with a couple of other concerns such as the construction and Novonyx. Seems any intelligent investor would want to know and watch these issues. You said: "How these people make a living is a mystery in itself, because they certainly are not making money here. The bashing continues, in spite of the recent stellar Earnings, Price performance, Up grades and World wide multiple Product Awards (nine in six months.) Frankly, answering all their claims, complaints, and questions is a full time job impossible for one investor such as this writer. I was hoping to engage in a fair dialogue to enhance my investment knowledge and thus returns. This board has turned out to be anything but that. " I don't want to get into a fight with you, but the stellar earnings where the result of a reduced tax rate and expenses...sales continued to slide significantly. Novell and their products have always taken the majority of trade show, magazine and reader service awards for the entire time I've followed them. You can continue to ignore these issues along with others, but you are sounding more and more like a hypster, and you seem to be starting to spread data you're making up. You are ignoring many issues you claim you came here to learn...or can we only discuss vaporware, vapor sales and what at this point is still a vapor future. Nothing has changed yet, other than a new generation of folks like yourself who are intriqued with what on the surface appears to be a future turnaround story. And finally, you are not in a position to "answering all their claims, complaints, and questions"...because you choose to only acknowledge half the story. Novell may well unbury themsleves, but they've got the worst ahead IMO. This year will certainly tell the tale. sf sf
