You may recognize this from a post some ways down the line. I'm leaving the original text in its found form and revising here to see just how well people read. That's right. There's all sorts of contragains and überportions in all that I post everywhere. Tripwires, as it were, to send you off into looneyland mit dem culdesac assumptions humans on the make are wont to make.
And you can find them EVERYWHERE. Like ChickenMan, see?
Turn your sound off if you don't want to wake up the baby.

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 Monday December 12, 2006. Patrick Tinley retired some days earlier (Although this PR is dated Monday December 12, in fact the actual announcement was made Monday December 5, 2005. That lost and forgotten information presented to the Rastaroni thanks to reader 'yup' from our records division from the treefort) ... on the same day (December 5, 2005) VCSY returned from pink sheets to the OTCBB. Most companies never return from the dead like that.
In addition, oddly enough, on that same day Microsoft IBM and SAP announced the impending shutdown of the UDDI for centralized XML development among those companies and others.

Odd that the UDDI actually shut down (actual plug pulling event) on January 5, 2006. Not January 12, 2006 as one might expect. Almost as though the three had gotten one of those 'cease and desist' lawyerly things that normally give a boilerplate grace period of, like, 30days from December 5, 2005. Dig?
And, as our reader and friend 'yup' might point out here; ALSO on the same day VCSY returned from the dead.
Now, I'm about to go get me some Napoleon ice cream with bananas and fiddle with my spoon in the delicious icy marm. But YOU my friend should find out why this nice young man says this:
I then told myself, that probably this ShutdownFAQ published by IBM is IBM's own interpretation, and that checking out what Microsoft and SAP say about the shutdown might yield other perspectives. But – surprisingly – both Microsoft and SAP Shutdown FAQ pages returned with a HTTP 404 kind of message. Is someone here destroying evidences?
