Joseph Hoane, Looks like folks at Yahoo BB are keeping an eye of the activities on this board: << Message 16193 of 16194 Reply : Thanks Schmoople Coconut_fiber Apr 17 1998 1:38PM EDT You are a Scholar and a gentleman. I appreciate your being sport enough to mention that GG mentions FIBR and in a positive way. As for Craig Crawford - I used to cringe at his desperate attitude, but felt that he needed to be heard so there would be a useful counterpoint. But the guy is showing that he is simply ANTI_OSICOM, not much objectivity in his stuff. For example, he denied that Gigamux existed as Osi claimed it. Then he said well it may exist but it won't get any revenue bcos the short-haul market is not there. Then Lucent, Ciena and co. announce their Short-haul products - does he say, "Hey, maybe Par did get his target right here. Let's see if he can get his marketing right." Instead he immediately says, yeah Gigamux will never sell bcos people will buy LU and Ciena's product (people being the ones who were not needing a short-haul product to start with! :-)) Now he posts this ADVA thing, which AGAIN proves how well-planned and well-timed Osicom's plans were! Does he grudge them ONE commendation, Oh no, he now claims these two companies are going to be a major competitor for Osi (as if LU and Cien are not enough!). The guy's one-sidedness is so transparent, that it is embarassing. His is a classic case of someon stretching their credulity so much that everyone can see through it. Regardless of what Osi does or not, regardless of Par being a genius or a crook, one things is clear to me, Craig Crawford is no objective investing guru. He is just another attention-seeker amongst the multitudes you find on the net. He just happens to hate Osicom, that is the only reason why we even know him. Well, so be it. Thanks once again for sharing GG's favorable opinion on FIBR. Maybe I'll get the report and see for myself. Cheers. >> Afaq Sarwar
