While not purposely being disruptive, I do try to rattle cages sometimes as I think I get a better “how do you really feel” answer.  Not as lovable as Ron but one does tend to work with the tools he/she has in the tool box.  Notice how much “needling” it took to get Brian to respond.  He is the shareholder representative, for crying out loud, I would expect much more from him.  Especially after how much he used to contribute.  But the fact is, everything he has done has been “charity” for others.  He isn’t getting paid and he doesn’t owe anyone anything.  I guess we all wanted to get rich along with him.

  You mention how many of the longs, like Brian, who used to contribute, like Brian, no longer contribute, like Brian.  Many must have made a tidy profit and have moved on to other pastures.  Ron said he sold some at $2.  Good for him.  Wish all the longs, had that kind of wisdom.  Some are still here hoping they made a good long term investment.  Some bought in on the way up and now find themselves in the red.  Have some empathy for them.  There was more comradre when we were below a dime but it still is a great board.  And look at some of the great insightful generous people who share.  Who take their time to share with others.  No reason.  No agenda.  Just a human helping a fellow human.  Sometimes it seems you can see what you want to see.  When you like someone, their actions seem a little better than someone you don’t like.  What do you look for.  Notice on some people you are looking to criticize and others you are looking to support.  Human nature.  While I have been negative and sometimes positive, I have not day traded this stock.  Just the opposite, I hold shares while wondering if I am getting snookered.  And though it may sound stupid, I based my trust in Pohl on what many said after going the the SHM.  I trusted those on this board.  Banosser in on my list of those I trust.
