I read this in the business section of the NY Times yesterday. It really
is a breath of fresh air from the courts, not that someone has actually put
their foot down and told the industry that they are NOT THE DAMN GHESTOPO.
Borderline silly is like a 'hold' recommendation from wall street. A
hold on wall street is really a sell and 'borderline silly' is a polite way of saying
that the police powers your asking for is 'off your god damn rocker', which is what
we've been saying ALL ALONG.
