Steve, DeeJay with MRVC on this thread when it was in the 18s, Nick came defending CCSI on Roger's when it was in the 9s, and a whole flock of TAVAites showed up on Wexler's thread when it was in the 9s. They even took a poll and declared him an idiot. Those are 3 that I remember vividly. I'm not sure what causes the phenomenon, or if it's even valid. I am starting to keep notes though. Barb

Kris . . .thanks for confirming the short prospects on LBOR. Steve, seeing as I've been long since late '96, I do tend to believe I know a little something about which I'm speaking. Again, I'm not here to tout, but just to counter some of the ridiculous crap that's been laid out here as of late. By ridiculous crap, I don't mean somebody saying, when the stock was still in the 30's, that it was overpriced, as one could make an intelligent argument for that being the case. What I do mean is the charges being bandied about here that have no basis in fact (e.g., illegal aliens, accounting irregularities, etc.). If somebody disagrees w/ me and is able to argue their side somewhat intelligently, great - then we have something to discuss. But so much that has been said here is simply repeating what they've heard, w/o any of those spreading garbage having actually done their own due diligence. Not trying to slam this thread as a whole, but most of those who've been vocal about LBOR wouldn't know research if it slapped them across the face; hence The 2x4 of Reality.
