Great another Monday night quarter back. If you had an ounce of of basic business sense you would understand that Corel had to do something to promote growth. Providing a product for a niche market grows flat quickly. Trying to establish Corel as the number two player in the office suite market was a sound decision. If Corel had done nothing and continued to release Draw, stock holders would be screaming. The stock performance probably wouldn't be much different than it is now, if the company survived at all. Furthermore, Corel would not have matured as a company. What you and your comrades fail to realize is that this saga has not played out and the only reason it hasn't is because of the risks Corel has taken for the sake of market growth. It easy to muster support among nay sayers when the chips are down. None of you guys are leaders, you are a bunch of followers who derive security from seeking solace in the arms of the majority. If you really have interest in this company why don't you do some research beyond picking up the Gospel from Rod and the likes, and come up with some new ideas and thoughts of your own. The recycling of mental garbage on this thread is getting tiresome. Until then why don't your run down to the quickie mart and grab yourself a slushie.
