I hope for your sake you are wrong, but I got those same vibes from that angry e-mail. Perhaps he has not been paid and he's worried about his job and he feels an e-mail from someone named sweetpea is the last straw. No one who is in a position of a company PR man should allow a public e-mail response like he did. To add insult to injury according to sweetpea he told George he would post the response. I can only concur with your read of desperation causing him to lash out. Heck if I am wrong about Calypso one can always buy back in when the good news (not likely) hits the fan.
Like always, I wish those longs good investment fortune, even those that find me an anathema to this board.
