Mood: celebratory
Topic: Chinadotcom and VCSY
Buddy Baveman came up with it from the garbage pile. All the other references have apparently been removed from the internet record and from Chinadotcom's public news records.
So I figured I might as well stick this where we can get to it for reference.
Notice this PR is dated December 12, 2006. Patrick Tinley retired some days earlier... on the same day VCSY returned from pink sheets to the OTCBB. Most companies never return from the dead like that.
