"When GTE was at $4.50/share, I didn't read of anyone calling Huff names"
You're dead wrong Vern,if you go back in the old yahoo board, when the SP was at or around the price you mentioned above, you'll find out that even then there were a lot of people that thought that Huff was a crook. There are just more of us thinking that way now, that's all.
