"I'm not getting my hopes up however, as I do clearly recall the years of rampant speculation on this forum predicting an imminent listing on the NASDAQ, and we all know how that turned out."

This forum can hardly be blamed for believeing a NASDAQ listing was imminent. The flaming management said they were looking to do it. This wasn't rampant rumour as you suggest, it was very legitimatey discussed. Sadly they didn't deliver. I do agree though, let's not get our hopes up just yet.
