Yes, Bill I read it.
But, Lets look at your post. The one you said that you live in Lenexa too!, and isn't wonderful how you can now talk about the *deal*?

Give it a rest.

I tried to spare you the indiginty flaming you, but hey, if you insist...

You have now cross posted this thread to alot of different newsgroups, which for the most part, people don't really give a rat's ass about this thread. My followup is only to the news groups that do.

The original poster, was also a troll. Looks like he was trying to boost the stock price. His posts are actually being circulated as part of a joke by several Informix employees.

It was an obvious and bad troll. You just made it worse by showing your ignorance by claiming to live in lenexa. Your post is nothing but pure fraud.

Since you have a bit of a learning disability, let me refresh your memory.

So,
Since you feel that it is ok to lie about a stock to manipulate it's price, I'll be glad to forward this on to the SEC.

It's not just you, but everyone who participated in this thread claiming insider information and that this rumor was true. Since I am a regular in c.d.i, most people know that I am knowledgable on Informix and I contribute something to this group.

A smartass maybe? (OK, so I *am* a smartass! ;-) But a dumbass? Naw. I make money the old fashion way. Besides selling my mind to the highest bidder, I do my own research on stocks and don't rely on trying to manipulate the market. (Unlike some people we know, right Bill?)
