I'll take some of those pings too, if it's OK with you.

I heard a talk show host complain about getting an invoice in the mail. A law firm bought some accounts receivables and
sent invoices to all the J. Quincy Publics they could find, not just the person that allegedly incurred the original bill.

A lawyer said you could recover 3X the amount from firms doing this. Can't recall if it was state or Federal law.

It's even more stupid now. Some morons are buying SCO's line of bull. It's so stupid I could almost see the tranished turkey or the pink worm falling for it.

The timing on that press release is curious. It hit the PR newswire at 2:03 pm Eastern:

If you actually read the thing it's a joke. Somebody bought one of their licenses, but who it was and how many they bought or at what price is all on Double Secret Confidentiality. Contrast that with any of the 5,000 other "we sold something!" press releases that come out every day, where companies name names when they brag about this stuff.

Perhaps there was something else going on today at around the same time that they wanted to distract attention from.

You talk about stupid. This little "pump" actually halted the slide. They then walked it back up to $9, in 100-share lots.

Today, instead of pump-and-dump, we got the dump-and-pump. If that was an insider dumping at around 1:50, what happens next will be fun to watch.

Well, how about that - one of their ossifers DUMPED his stock this morning. Looks like someone else may have wanted to, also, but the stock was crapping out. I guess we'll watch for more sales tomorrow morning.

Everyone they send an invoice to, should print "kiss my A$$" on it and send it back.

I'd keep mine. These will be sold on eBay someday as collector's items.

If SCO has such a good case, why don't the officers in the company ever buy stock?
