I happen to agree completely with SGE's statement that religion does not belong on this forum. Simple as that. I am suspicious of anyone building a power base and that WAS what was going on with some you whether you recognize it or not. Some of you guys may know each other personally but don't ask us to buy into these shareholder letters, initiatives, proposals etc. hook line and sinker based on - at least from our perspective - posts from posters on a message board. As far as the idea that the shareholder letter and all that has followed including the infinite number of gripes, calls for action, new message board etc are certainly intensifying the downdraft, I think that it would be pretty twisted if this were actually all contrived by a select few here. The nature of these forums contributes to certain level of suspicion about one another's motives as we are all here in our own self-interests. Are we not? So it would follow that we sometimes misunderstand one another and start to see hidden agendas where there are none. JMO
