Garick- My post wasn't directed at you specifically, however, you have just provided a good example:

"I made no mention Bill Ward was a jerk, however, if this story is true. I am glad his ass was shown the door."

You have no idea if the story is true, or if so whether he might have had reasons you don't know about for selling. Maybe he had been asked two years ago to wait a couple months until SFMI was producing revenue, but like many of us was misled as to how long that would be. If he was taking shares instead of pay, then his shares weren't intended as an investment for him, they were his pay for providing equipment and services, and he can't be expected to hold them indefinitely any more than your employer can ask you not to cash your paycheck. There was no reason you couldn't have just reported the rumor that the shares on the market were from him selling, without calling him names or judging someone whom you really know little about. So everyone, let's cool it with the personal stuff. If it continues, I will start deleting posts. I don't want to play cop, but I will.

And Bobby Joe- Please stay around. We all value your input. I know it's been rough for all of us watching the share price drop, and things get a little testy here, but please don't take things personally. I'd much prefer that we all remain on good terms, and look forward to seeing you and everyone else at the next meeting.
