Good post #8647 , but i would go one step further And send them yahoo post #1764 from Tech as an example of how the Radical wing of the party feels. This shows how much more inherently reasonable your approach is. On the other hand if they ignore that which is reasonable then the Radicals prevail. Peerhaps Radical is a strong word for persons who perceive arrogance, credibility and truthfuklness as a major alyd problem. FWIW, I agonized all day and then did not go back in at lower then my sale at 7 because ive come not to believe them even when say there is snow in Alaska.

Subject: Alydaar: Year 2000 (Y2K) Remediation; Audit; Reengineering To: NJ Investors From: TEDennis Nov. 4, 1998 10:12AM EST Reply #8781 of 8823 NJI: Re: "Does anyone have the technical expertise to evaluate Alydaar's technology and compare to other alternatives?" Looks like nobody responded to your question. I have the expertise and sufficient relevant experience to review ALYD's software and then compare to other solutions I have seen. I've done several other free-to-the-company reviews in the past (Vertex 2000 from BMR Software, CSGI, PTUS, VIAS, Matridigm/ZITL) and posted the results here on SI. I'll be doing another one in a couple of weeks (VXTK). Is anybody (and that includes ALYD, the company) willing to pay my expenses to visit their headquarters for a whiz bang demo and comparative analysis session?
