Why is it important that NATO bring order to the Balklans? The answer is in this excerpt from Lynn's Student Bloopers: The First World War, cause by the assignation of the Arch-Duck by a surf, ushered in a new error in the anals of human history.

Dear Jerryrom and victor, Don't know if you recall but I have asked that question on this board several times before. I think CPQ should be tarred and feathered for leaving its shareholders in the dark like this for so long. Afterall, we own part of the company or are we just the red- headed step children? Do either of you know of an actual person that could be called at that rude company and could give some insight to one who has put their trust/dollars into their coffers? I have never known of a company to treat shareholders so poorly or should I say ignore shareholders for so long and I have been in this business of buying into companies for 20 years. Please respond if you know of an accessible and helpful person who will get straight to the points of this AV deal and how they will "improve shareholder value"? I will be glad to call whom ever on Monday-I have the day off. Do you get the feeling that you are being YANKED AROUND? Thanks, Yankee Trader MV
