Subject: My letter to SEC and Yahoo
Recs: 21

I am a frequent poster of the Yahoo financial message board about the stock SCOX (Caldera International Inc), and would like to report what appears to be frequent posts by people who appear to be insiders of the company, or otherwise financially compensated by the company or agents thereof, to post false and misleading information about this stock. Over the past several months, several posters have repeatedly posted outright lies about the frivolous lawsuits the SCO Group has brought against companies it had contractual relationships with, all in the name of claiming to "own" the Linux operating system, which is impossible. These lies are intended to defraud the investing public, and steal their hard earned money from them, and at the same time, helps to pump up the stock, which is rather thinly traded, while at the same time, create fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) amongst IT managers throughout the world, which might persuade them to stay away from Linux; this would provide a tangible benefit to Microsoft, which has been heavily involved in the continued financing of this litigation strategy, as documented on numerous websites with official court documents, as well as corporate memos. The SEC may also wish to look into the incredibly frequent occurrences of "marking the close", and "painting the tape", which can be clearly demonstrated throughout the recent past history of this stock.

I would like the SEC to investigate this clearly illegal activity, and would request that Yahoo reveal the IP and identities of the following posters;

ledite

aug9_2003
just_bs2000
pimping_linux
chevyfanz2001
qqq4profit
thousand_dollar_suits
m_wachs
r_u_a_pita
fatcitystate

(I'm sure there are more than this, but getting these people exposed for their illegal activities would certainly be a good start.)

Thank you for your time. -Bob S. / Maplewood, MN

P.S. Feel free to contact me with any further questions you may have.
