In reply to Rob Enderle

"These Zealots have been the primary reason that I've come to believe SCO will likely win its lawsuit -- because if the Zealots are lying about facts I know to be true, they must be lying about facts I don't know about."
.
THIS is what your metric is for determining if one company has a case against another? Is this what an analyst does for a living? Make judgements based on email rather than ANALYZING?
.
I seem to recall that in another article of your's "http://www.technewsworld.com/perl/story/31479.html"
.
You claimed:
.
* One of the strongest indications I have that SCO might win is that several of the financial analyst groups who work with me, after reviewing the SCO submissions, have concluded that SCO might actually have the advantage.
- you never named any of your financial analysts group though.
.
* When I tried to point out that SCO might actually be in the right, suddenly the attacks shifted to me in a very personal way in an apparent attempt to shut me up.
- you never explained why you think SCO might be in the right, and your explanation in this arcticle is the first *I* have ever seen. You should also publish the emails, I'd like to see them.
.
* At the time, I wasn't siding with SCO, I was just pointing out that the company's position might have merit, and that I knew some of the folks and they weren't as evil as people seemed to think. I'm an analyst; this was analysis.
- you again never have shown any analysis why SCO might be in the right, you even missed IBM's ammended contract, even though it was repeatedly pointed out to you: http://www.sco.com/scosource/ExhibitC.qxd.pdf
.
* You stated in that article "What seemed to be different was that the open-source community seemed collectively to say, "Theft is okay as long as we benefit.""
- which is, frankly, an outright lie. The Linux community from day one has offered to mitigate, it's SCO preventing mitigation. The offer to mitigate is still open incidentally.
.
What is fascinating is that in this current article, you state "Attack first. If you kill the messenger, you can always apologize later." - this seems to be YOUR behavior, not our's. When SCO loses their court case against both IBM and Red Hat, where will you be?
.
Incidentally, why don't you point out all the lies in all these threads below? I'd like to see them.
