Once there was a guy named Ed who worked at a small tech company. The company wanted to revamp their insurance program, but it would take 100% agreement from the employees to do so. Everyone signed up except Ed. In spite of the pleas of his co-workers Ed refused to sign up-said he would never sign. After a couple of weeks the boss called him into the office and said,"Ed, if you don't sign up I am going to fire you". Ed reached for the pen and signed. Later, after his friends had heard that Ed had signed, they asked him what had happened. Ed thought a few minutes and replied, "Well, no one ever explained it to me the way he did". ARE YOU SAYING RR NEEDS TO DO SOME EXPLAINING??? ":0) dd

FWIW there is some disagreement about the validity of the Yahoo! post. I checked back there this A.M. and 'OneHopeWonder' (I think) said he/ she was there too and the post was completely false. Maybe it was a worried competitor or a short seller of SGI stock. OR maybe the truth is embarrassing and OneHopeWonder is trying to save face. It wouldn't hurt RB to check it out... if the employees don't like the product they should not be at the dog/pony show! I think the stock action will tell us the truth in the long run.
