Netconductor, I e-mailed Corrigan an "earful" the day i read the
article. He e-mailed me back explaining that perhaps he was
off the mark a "tad" but Only time will tell".

Next thing i know he is posting directly to TMF/Lcos board and getting HAMMERED AT in the process. His article, imho, borders
on plagiarism. It was chocked full of at least half a dozen re-worded
articles written over the past 3 months..most notably Christopher
Byron's hatchet job.
Corrigan, basically admitted that he did not have any real working
knowledge of Lcos and is not a shareholder, but gathered his info from
other people's articles. I don't think Corrigan has ever had an original thought of his own.
Most TMF "strollers" and writers
are fairly savvy about the stocks they cover, however if Corrigan
is any example of who they are employing these days, then they are
on a big downward spiral.

I won't even get started on Chris Byron..had alot of pleasure
reading his retraction you referred to..it's about time these
writers are held responsible for there accuracy, at the very least!
His Lcos/Usai article, was, without a doubt, one of the most
biased and self-serving ones to date. It was sickening to read
his sarcastic take on the attempted merger.

Anyway, just thought i'd add my .02!
