    From Young's open letter to Darl:
    The sad thing about your arguments is that you undermine them by running your company so badly.

    These self-serving "open letters" make SCO appear extremely untrustworthy.

    Darl, for the sake of your case in front of the courts, for the sake of your company's ability to win customers, for the sake of everyone's blood pressure, and to save yourself further personal embarrassment, you might want to be less vocal.
    Finally, some soundbites MSNBC can run with! (oh, well maybe FOXNEWS?)

    An open letter to Bob Young, re: your open letter to Darl McBride:

    Never argue with a fool, you'll be brought down to his level and he'll beat you with experience.

    P.S. don't feed the trolls, Bob, really.

    ...but considering SCO's only product is media spin, some high profile/intelligent people need to counter the bullshit they are pumping out. Else no matter how unintelligent the argument, it will eventually be seen as the truth.

    Because white collar crime results in so many jail sentences, right?

    Steal $240 from a convenience store, and you'll get at least 5 years behind bars. Defraud investors of millions, and -- if you're an executive for Worldcom, Enron, or Fannie Mae -- you'll pay a fine and get on with your life.
