Cheap Tricks?--SoftQuad International:In Perspective. Issues of facts... The Rabins, curiously?, issue two [Alpha Five ver. 4, ONLINE m erchant] major direct email announcements immediately prior to announcing its delisting from NASDAQ NMS...panic knee-jerk reaction?...what have the Rabins actually accomplished? >>Kurzweil termination...Lernout Hauspie adverse ruling >>judgement...WebFiler failure/division jettison...SoftQuad >>Inc asset sale...NASDAQ NMS delisting...75%+ >>shareholder value destruction... This is reality and simply are the facts and why HoTMetaL Pro 5.0 is a non-event?...the Rabins simply established new and irreversible lost opportunity costs pursuant to the above gross negligence viz a viz Kurzweil, Lernout, NASDAQ delisting, SoftQuad Inc asset sale(s)... Alpha Five,version IV, ONLINE m erchant, NewKidCo (do we need any more?)...appear exciting but the Rabins' have now established a consistent [and statistically significant?] pattern of shareholder value destruction concomitant with non-events...smoking guns...and now semantically cleansed [friday after market close] press release(s) issued out of Toronto...what are they actually up to?...NASDAQ delisting may now insulate them from SEC Rule 10b-5 class action litigation...and they immediately drew the Canada securities venue card by now issuing news releases out of Toronto...why?... to keep all legal audit trails within Canada?...insuring U.S. SEC exemption? What are the Rabins up to?...perhaps they will provide us with some substantive answers to these very simple and basic shareholder concerns...esp. now that the Rabins must now simply perform as SoftQuad's fate will be determined this quarter...actually within appx. 45 days, maximum...the Rabins have simply run out of time and excuses.
