Just got this e-mail from another list I am on, thought I would copy and paste it for information if you need to opt out.

Heres the post:

The flack they have and will continue to get is nothing to them rumors abound on the net. The real problem is for stockholders and investors to look carefully at the balance sheets. Remember Double Click pulled a similar stunt before and the public outcry tanked their stock.

Doing this is IMHO an admission of weakness in the company and the value of its stock. If there is no weakness then they should retract the practice and publish a certified summary of their balance sheets.
