Disagree with you for the most part, OI.

Your statement below, is quite accurate, though:

"Opinions can cause damage. Matter of fact they already did in the past"

Consider the depletion of posters/readers net worth based on investing more and more based on positive opinions on POET over the years.  I assume it is to that significant damage you are referring? Trying to prove that the price would be substantially higher if negative posts were eliminated would be difficult, but I would agree they don't help the price.  But some of those negative (or as some of us like to put it, "realistic") posts may have saved others from investing at some point in the past, and thus saved themselves some money and aggravation.

Nothing personal, OI, just messing with you, but I think we get each other's point. 

I'm still hopeful, but just currently disappointed, and I think with reason - not upset with POET or management, just wish we could get to the point at which many of us thought we'd be earlier - that the OI works as anticipated for commercial use, and can be mass produced at a price that will render a nice profit.  I continue to believe that POET is doing everything they can to get to that point, but delays in the DL deal and low volume/crummy price tells me others don't believe that it will be particularly soon.
