Welcome to the Forum, Fan -- you make some good points so I hope you continue to post and impart your wisdom to we unwashed.

If you joined us to reform us, I suggest it will be like spitting into a high wind. But we're here to learn, so have at it!

Personally, I see no problem with complaining from time-to-time. Sure, the effect on the NOT B of D will be zilch. However, some posters come here to vent and perhaps it does them more good than kicking the dog or yelling at the wife (or hubby).

I do take issue with those whom the late Agnew Spiro would call: "nattering nabobs of negativity". Posters with sufficient intelligence and willing to go to such lengths that it is obvious they have an axe to grind, rather than the usual venting out of frustration. Yes, we can ignore these, but I believe some less experienced investors could be adversely influenced to their detriment. Well, this is just IMHO and for those that enjoy those posts, Great! It's a free country. As long as you remember why you bought into NOT and why you have stuck around to this point.

Best wishes to all Noront longs!
