Hey Ray -- have you ever heard of the doctrine of respondeat superior ? you wrote: "Melvin at least serves well in his role of insulating Urban from all of the pumping that goes on." IMO your analysis is flawed, especially where the company's IR "professional" is posting on a company-sponsored message board. IMO UC is essentially liable for damn near anything and everything "Uncle Melvy" does, says &/or writes re: CMKX. good luck!
