Rillinois: There was no ad hominem attack in my post and certainly none was intended. But you still don't need to respond at all. I didn't call you names. I certainly did not call you a "flat out" "liar". I complimented you and your tenacity while I stated the facts pure and simple. No need to put Truman in the middle. (Truman, what rights to appeal do I have if you go against me <g>?) You can post your opinions here and everyone should judge them as to their content and your possible motivation. I think people have a right to know your history and respond accordingly as they see fit. But while we are on the subject, do you agree that the following is an example of an ad hominem personal attack? This is from the AOL UTEK board and I thank the individual who made it available. Your name is as it appears in that post. The names of the victims have been changed: ___________________________________________________________________ "Subject: Joe, Bill, and UTEK Date: Fri, Jan 9, 1998 21:16 EST From: Rillinois Message-id: <19980110021600.VAA14292@ladder01.news.aol.com> Joe, do you still think UTEK is stable in the low to mid 20's? Bill, if you are the biggest shareholder in UTEK, then you are the biggest loser too. And it's all due to Brinker. Congratulations on your choice to respect Brinkers' stock picks. BTW Bill, maybe it's just me, but I guess even your cheerleading didn't make UTEK go up (See Bill's post titled "Market down, UTEK up!!" on 12/19/97). You're just pathetic... .... Well, I guess I'm hearing time tell....Word has it on another board here on AOL that Brinker is reducing numbers for UTEK. You're right, Bill, Brinker assumed UTEK shouldn't be affected by Asia and HE WAS WRONG....SUCKERS.......Do you still respect his opinion, Bill? Just keep blaming this on an overreaction, Brinker is due to come out with a second roaring buy soon. Will it be under $20 or under $15?" ____________________________________________________________________ So I guess I should assume that all UTEK investors should be viewed as "pathetic" "losers" who were "SUCKERS" for following Brinker's advice. Now that is the kind of fundamental analysis of a stock I enjoy. I don't know who could have posted that on AOL. He has the same name as you but I know you would never do such a thing. Do you think this is ad hominem attack? Also, is it true that you sent unsolicited e-mails to people on the UTEK AOL board gloating and insulting them? Please be advised not to send me any personal mail through SI or anywhere else.
