This thread is going down the tubes, which is is probably part of wexliar's plan, or part of the script he's following. [Paid by the post, perhaps?]
Please post responses and invective to wexliar here #Subject-19404 and clutter up *his* thread, not this one.

Silicon Investor should have the technology to block certain poster's why do they not implement it, I for one would use it!

JDN, I'll come clean<G>.
1) I am not acquainted with any poster on this thread, except through discussions on SI.

2) None of my posts are from a script ... just hard work.

3) Secret identities. WOW, that is scary! I used to have my name in my profile box, but as a short seller, I received a lot of hate mail. Some of the "longs" on this thread know my name ... BTW, CalculatedRisk is the name of a friend's racing boat<g>!

4) Employers, hedge funds, etc. I am retired. I am a private investor. No one pays me to post. I have been contacted (over the net) by a few hedge funds. I have been asked:
a) if they could reprint my posts. (I was flattered!)
b) if I could provide my sources. Usually I provide most sources.
c) if I would back off ACLY until a particular hedge fund built their short position. NO WAY! I was already short.

No one has ever offered to pay me to post.

5) My posts are accurate. I have pointed out:
a) declining core business.
b) TAVA does not do remediation as defined by other Y2K companies.
c) Accounting: heavy software capitalization.
d) Accounting: heavy negative cash flow.
e) Financing: 22% annual interest rate on new loan.
f) TAVA is really a consulting company, not a product company.
g) Product: PlantY2K One is a "how to" CD with a simple database, nothing special.
h) that the CD was not selling well through Wonderware (I posted this before Jenkins acknowledged this).
i) FWIW, the Russell 2000 is the smallest 2000 stocks in the Russell 3000.

And several other factual and 100% accurate pieces of information concerning TAVA. There is much more to come!
Hope this helps,
Bill

I'll side with Rick and C.K. now.
The easiest thing to do is just skip all posts from Calculated Risk and
Bill Wexler. If you've read one you've read them all.

I hearing a lot about small cap market not rallying yet. Real cool if
small cap and Y2K do a simultaneous rally. Publicity starting to
heat up as we get closer. Presidents speech helps lead to the
understanding of what is necessary to fix Y2K. Delay development
of other projects and focus time and money on this problem. Lead
article in PC WEEK. Some companies devoting 80-90% of IT
budgets on Y2K. Average 24% of corporate IT is Y2K and in
insurance and telecomm 38%. Think you might even see some US
funding to help other countries with Y2K.
