No offense to anybody, just my own personal feedback will follow:

These latest discussions are exactly how good message boards turn into boards like the one at stockhouse. I'm going to tune this place out if it becomes a bunch of silly posts and private jokes from a circle of "cyber-buddies" about fake blues song lyrics or anything else of the sort. I'm sure nobody would miss me, and that's fine. I'm just throwing out there that people don't visit stock-specific message boards for crap like that. I certainly don't. When you start doing that stuff, the thing that drew you guys here in the first place is gone. Stockhouse is the example. There's a core group of people there who speak their own language, don't usually talk about Montello, and bicker with and attack anyone new who comes in.

Please don't take this as me picking a fight or trying to offend anyone. I'm just a shareholder who values this board as a no-nonense place where we can talk shop (or just read about it). If this continues, I'll likely lose interest quickly, and that's not a threat because nobody knows me well enough to care whether I'm here or not. But it's my view that this board will stop growing when new people see what's going on. I think you could just as easily swap your jokes by e-mail or in some chat room somewhere.

This board has been changing in the last week or so, and I don't personally care for the direction it's heading. Take it for whatever it's worth, I'm not going to engage in an argument about it either way. That's it.
