thanks john, i really appreciate your kind words.

as for duncan and david – you know that analysts, even open source ones, need to keep *some* secrets.

as Stephen O’Grady would ask: What value did you get out of that, exactly? i am happy to make this a generic rant.

For sound advice on what to do and what not to do, a/r folks should read this, then read it again, then read it a month later. P/R should not be contacting analyst’s unless they understand how it works, two different audiences. James makes more than valid point(s) here. Note to company in question, working with James is not that tough, even when he’s tough on you….you couldn’t have tried to screw up more even with a planning committee.
