    Why would I (or anyone) troll about something like this? I haven't trolled before, and I'm not starting now. Yes, Eircom is currently a private company, technically, but it is grossly insolvent, and it's only a matter of time (IMHO) before the government has to guarantee the €2.7 billion in debts I referred to - if not their total debt (which is €3.75 billion). At which point they will be as much of a private company as Anglo Irish Bank is today. This is obviously not what they want, and they are approaching private investors. From an article today:

    I don't expect private investors to bite - which leaves only the government to keep Eircom alive.

    Your whole post reeks of somebody who has realised they are wrong and instead of just admitting they were wrong you go on the offensive.

    So, what IS the situation with Eircom, then, in your opinion? Secure? No need for the government to get involved? So far you've called me a troll, and referred back to events from 12 years (a lifetime) ago, but you've said nothing about the current situation. Do you have anything to add to this discussion besides name-calling? No? :rolleyes:

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.
