Damn, first Pseuss is reading people's minds, and now you? Guess I should frequent this thread more often. Seems to give you folks a sense of clairvoyance. ggg. >> If TAVA takes Bill to court, then it shows that they are more concerned with selling stock to the gullible, than providing embedded Y2K solutions. No Babs, that's what YOU think. That doesn't make it right. So now when you utter an opinion there is no room for other opinions? So now when you say what is and isn't the truth, then everyone else must accept your word as truth? How libertarian of you. Sounds more like a few governments I could name. ggg. >> I would encourage Bill or anyone sued by a company for their postings to countersue for malicious prosecution. By all means. It's the American way. >> The only people who have a problem with the extensive pecedential case law supporting freedom of the press in this country are people like you, who can't accept that TAVA sold off because it was overpriced. Ah, there ya go again. You know absolutely nothing of my views on any of this matter, other than what I have stated, but damn if you wouldn't LIKE to dictate my views. gggg. And who ever said anything about freedom of the press? One more thing, case law is not the final word on anything. It's merely assumed to be a standard until and unless the courts -- or the legislative branch -- changes it. IMO. >> You should be ashamed of yourself for saying that it is appropriate for them to take him to court. That statement is a slap in the face of the Bill of Rights. Now that is pure crock. Persons, be they individuals or corporations, it matters not, have the right to defend their name and reputation. There is "extensive pecedential case law" supporting such a right. Are you now advocating that it be revoked? >> It sure won't result in any kind of precedent that will be quoted in the future. You do not understand the process, nor appreciate the virgin nature of case law relative to transactions over the Internet. I would assume that current law can be extended to cover electronic communications, and I believe it has been in a number of cases, but governments (i.e., the EU) and certain legal and regulatory entities are viewing it as unique in many respects (e.g., general anonymity), and hence, are moving forward to regulate it anew. >> I also notice that you haven't had the nerve to show your face hear while TAVA was falling. You used to come here and try to tell us that Bill was wrong about TAVA. Now that he's been proven right, you show up wanting to sue. But only after a convenient price jump. I suppose you can draw such a conclusion if you so desire. Frankly, I was bored this afternoon and thought I'd crank up one of Old Bill's tactics, to wit, to go rain on someone else's parade and see what kind of reaction I can stir up. So thanks for your contribution! gggg.

<<If TAVA takes Bill to court, then it shows that they are more concerned with selling stock to the gullible, than providing embedded Y2K solutions.>> Barb, As usual, you are correct -- Tava executives have been selling shares in massive amount. In fact, in the last several months, CFO Kelsall Douglas has dumped so many shares that, as of 7/7/98, there are only 33,600 shares left in his name. The latest round of hype orchestrated by TAVA appears to be nothing more than an exit strategy for the company's executives. biz.yahoo.com biz.yahoo.com Kimberly
