I will give you something else to ponder. The earnings revision last week came as a result of comments gathered by I think Goldman's visit to ADTRAN, I wonder if the one from the 20th was also the result of remarks made by ADTRAN to analysts. Just seems that all the earnings revisions to the downside are coming as a result of positive revisions for ADTRAN. ADTRAN has been getting beneficial remarks at the expense of PAIR and still does not beat or meet estimates. This was the same story last year as well. What I find interesting is that ADTRAN missed by 3 or 4 cents and PAIR by a penny with almost the same amount of gross sales. The important point which no one is paying attention to is that the basis for most of the drop in stock price has been the result of comments issued by ADTRAN or by favorable comments made about ADTRAN and not PAIRGAIN. If this is not manipulation on the part of the brokerage firms then I don't know what is.
