Who are you to decide his post is silly? Even if I didn't find his questions valid I'd have to accept them.
I consider using "silly" as an attempt to talk someone down with your whole post held in a general attitude of dictating what someone has to say.
No one on this board should instruct an other member what he should write or what he should NOT write - this is what I mean with freedom of opinion and speach.

"You've had no understanding of the situation we've been in, ..."

Brian is stating his opinion as the last truth and trying to intimidate others by telling them they aren't capable in understanding the WHOLE picture (which of course only HE can see and comprehend).
Not exactly what I understand under freedom of opinion and speach.

Laurie wrote to all:
"I might suggest that we concentrate on what we can do (digging up dirt on TPL) to help PTSC via the Creditors Committee to rid ourselves of any business dealings with this family and possibly work with Moore ( if he can stand the sight of our BoD any longer) to commercialize the MMP."

The best statement I've read from Laurie for a long time for which I thank you, Laurie.
We need rationality, we need to pool our strengths, we need to discuss possibilities of today for creating chances of shareprice increases of tomorrow - this is what a messaging board IN OUR SITUATION should be all about, this is the potential of freedom of opinion and speach.

This is how I understand OUR SITUATION:
I'm sure nearly 100% of all readers here know the past and have bad feelings about the management (Pohl? The guy with the dog? Goerner? Cliff? Choose whichever you want) or the BoD but our timeframe is closing so I'd prefer we find ways asap how to get out of this mess with a black eye and maybe making some money (surely not as much as we hoped for).

So coming back to Laurie's phrase of the year:
How can we help PTSC to get rid of the Leckrones?
