This latest report is significant because it indicates that the
buybacks/channel-stuffing/figure-crunching/profit-massagging routine is
already too much of a stretch. Liddel can't play that game forever. They give
up and start showing what they can't hide. Didn't they talk about a 70% profit
boost in the last quarter (quarter-to-quarter comparison)? Don't you find it
strange?

Liddel came from the paper industry to replace one who ran away. Maybe he knows
a little more about paper than just the paper industry.
