This isn't about taking sides. There seems to be this 'them versus us' mentality with some posters, which is really puerile. This board isn't a living entity, with its own opinion. It's full of varied opinions and very deffirent people. For the majority of time the hub leaders do a great job.
Largely the 'pumpers' as you put it, do it with sound reasoning and intelligent examples. I honestly believe that there are some people that get the hump, because they can't spout the usual rhetoric you get on stock forums, without some kind of retribution.
Anyway here's to better days ahead. Easter has just passed us, so let's hope for a resurrection of our share price.
