Thank you. Agreed. Once again (and I'm sure someone will accuse me as well of just repeating myself), "Quack, quack, waddle, waddle, paddle, paddle." I also do not understand the reference to replies from Todd somehow being reassuring - there is nothing substantive to them, and may as well be a recorded message from the cable or utility company when called to report an outage. Not only does it not take a rocket scientist to cipher (as Jethro Bodine would say) that what is happening is not pretty; in fact, one needs no formal education at all, just some common sense, to understand the unfavorable position of shareholders in these companies. As the Captain (Strother Martin) in Cool Hand Luke said, "Some men you just can't reach."
