Zeeman effect: "The splitting of single spectral lines of an emission spectrum into three or more polarized components when the radiation source is in a magnetic field."

In lay terms: A black hole approacheth... better stovepipe the company...

But as Mike Z and our French-Canadian neighbors affirm:

"Zis is not ze end. Zkeptics have shape ze Zeitgeist ento a negative, a zero. We prefare ze global-poetic term "zilchissimo". But any negativity is zratkska [=eastern Euro word for "ze crap"]

And whan ze old zeal is renewed we wal zing past ze SSSiscos of ze world. Nigeria, then Zaire, Zambia, Zanzibar, ze old and new Zealands, even Zembabwe will come to do it Ze-mike-way."

Ignore Bab! All Bobs is ze matter of fact. Above all ze nay-bobs of negativism.

Thanks. I only try because I am fedup with the lies and endless repetition of half-truths from people who talk to us as if we are children.

Addendum: I missed one on your list.

Fact: broadbandbill accurately predicted the departure of Ms. Flaherty even as NT propaganda machine was trying to dissuade us otherwise!

broadbandbill has not "bashed" employees and he has not "bashed" those others that you have mentioned. He has instead told the truth which seems to scare you because maybe you own NT and are worried about the pennies you have left.

Fact: Roese was not a good CTO. His many misadventures are well documented and this is why he was asked to leave.

Fact: Hackney is completely unsuited for the job and is only there because he is MZ's best friend. His brazen assault on a female student in the midst of a campaign of "integrity, ethics and honesty" followed by Mike Z's writing off of the incident confirmed this.

Fact: Mike Z. has not led Nortel well. Just look at the market! Market is the collective vote of many people, not just the "haters" on this blog. While MZ has had an illustrious career at GE and had an impressive resume he did not fare well in the telecom world.

Please don't criticize others for posting the truth because you own NT and have to pump it every opportunity. It is this very sort of ignorant behavior that has led to the unfortunate demise of NT.

Yo O,

Though technically you are correct, there is a clear distinction between the execs (the three you mentioned) and Nortel’s employees; the latter group being the rank-and-file (and the suffering ones at that).

And stop blaming everything on the economy; most of the mistakes were made two and three years ago when the economy was booming and globalization was everywhere. It is only that those mistakes are now coming due (lack of CDMA divestiture, horrible hires, lack of vision; had enough?). So, do not try to spilt hairs with me; I will only make you look foolish. — bb

If it is good enough for Brett…

You'll be happy to know I will be attending Betty Ford's Clinic this weekend, pray for me…–bb

You'd think that the same folks who would argue that AAN hatas are ruining NT would admonish Observer that his rote spewing over this cycical, circular secular seven year bear thingy will be a self-fulfilling prophecy. That if he doesn't have anything nice to say about bears he should clam up.

His depp objective analyses are needlessly depressing NT stock.
