Well, perhaps my posting was more than a little rude and made suggestions
that do not apply to Bela. That said, in general:

1. Many ordinary SCO employees (not just the execs) have been able to sell
shares in SCO at prices inflated by SCO's FUD. I don't know if Bela is one
of those.

2. Jobs are tight. Certainly, I would not advocate that SCO employees
immediately resign. Nor would I expect any employees to post that they
would leave if they could.

3. Bela sought to portray SCO as a company with many employees supporting
a legitimate product. Again, I don't expect him to post anything
otherwise, but silence is also an option. If he chooses to publically
defend SCO as a company, he must expect people to comment on it and
question his role.

Many people are very angry with SCO's unsustantiated allegations regarding
Linux. One can support SCO, oppose them, remain neutral or remain silent.
