Exactly. So people overreacting about Elop having stock is bothersome. It's not like the board of directors didn't know it.

I've been trying to say many times in this thread that he managed to sell 60% of his shares, but right after he joined Nokia, he was registered as MS insider. He had to stop selling. This is what Nokia has told today. Now that big strategic changes have been published, he can continue selling. It could have been handled better, but making some conspiracy theories (not blaming you here) is just plain stupid.
Again. Exactly. I'm just as sick of these conspiracy theories - he's a Microsoft plant, he's a M$ [sic] Trojan, Microsoft just bought Nokia for $0 Billion and so forth - as the next rational person.

Oh well... I give up.

Yep... Elop was a test tube melange of Gates, Ballmer, Allen and some other North American influence - Satan perhaps? - that was planted by some 15 year plot hatched by the anti-christ and the anti-pope to thwart the spread of the open source goodness that is Linux, Maemo, MeeGo and we should all join in signing random petitions online, sit around here, make up even better reasons why we should damn near (online) riot and perhaps plan our first N900 flash mob around Elop's world tour of his Lazarus pits that he shares with Ra's al Ghul and perhaps Batman.

I can so sleep better at night now.
