I Guess from now on if we talk w/ anyone from NEWTEK an get alarming info
we might ask (musingly) if the person we're talking to is the mystery Randy.
****Really folks I think NEWTEK has gotten the real message here (whether
Randy exists or not) P.J. brought up a good point albeit perhaps
indirectly, NEWTEK probably already knows where its bread and butter came
from and with 70+ booths (up from last years 50+) @ NAB of Non Linear
wanna bees, I might add that seem to drop from the heat like flys do. I
don't imagine this transition to P.C. and other platforms has been such a
picnic for NEWTEK (as some of you seem wanting to make it out to be). In
fact i would say there is a notion of just plain survival for NEWTEK
here. So I say while your contemplating ( in your so valuable use of
time) how and if NEWTEK is going to put it to you perhaps you could also
think where you might be if NEWTEK hadn't come along with the "revolution"
to begin with, and what if NEWTEK goes down how is your "free willy ass"
gonna bail them out. I am really amazed at how some individuals carry
on, the captured audience here on the NET would like to see alittle
more thinking done in "stereo" VS the one track. (period)
AND******* I DONT KNOW HOW OTHER INDIVIDUALS FEEL BUT WHEN YOU START
TALKING ABOUT GOING ON A KILLING SPREE, perhaps it is time the system
manager put some people on notice. Because I believe communication of
that nature whether jokingly or serious across state and international
lines is a FEDERAL offense and it sounded to me that some one was
conveying a threat, directed towards Personal at NEWTEK. We must have
some very unstable individuals on this list, given the facts of the
world affairs these days (i.e. bombings, post office shootings,
corporate Law office shootings- San Francisco, Gas attacks- Japan) So
fool- who I don't even know who you are, I think this system manager
needs to talk to you.
