I will keep reading GW's venting posts for two reasons:

1) They are humorous. And...

2) In my opinion, they may be true.

And, while I have to take ultimate responsibility for my own money, I am in no way, shape, or form in the camp that I should blame myself for everything that has occurred, including not selling at the "higher" (wink wink ) prices when I had the chance over the last year or so.

The problem here is, as GW has pointed out, a carrot has been dangled for quite some time. Looking back, I didn't invest my money blindly. I believe I relied, to a certain extent, on what I was led to believe.

Now, looking back over everything, especially what happened to GRZ that precipitated their going to arbitration, I am angry at management. And I believe justifiably so.

It seems that we should have expected VZ to screw us, and while I can say "I should have saw this coming" in my opinion, managment gets PAID to see this coming.

And, in my opinion, they failed miserably.

I may be proven wrong, believe they have a strong arbitration case, and will continue to hold.

But I refuse to be optimistic because KRY has taught me one thing:

KRY, with HUGO's help, is capable of screwing up anything.

All of this, of course, is nothing more than my uneducated, baseless, ranting opinions, which I will probably keep to myself while we wait for a resolution, the next 30 years or so...
