Hey Pic,

I've been away, so don't blame me...

Seriously, I'm all "originaled" out at the moment. I've been in this stock longer than I ever expected, and I've posted just about everything I can think of at one time or another. So has most everyone else I imagine. At some point there's just not much else to say until we get news. Even the rumor mill has run pretty dry- it's just a matter of not that much to discuss about SFMI that we haven't already rehashed repeatedly. There's the occasional general interest post, but in general I go elsewhere for that information. The AUM board is good for general reading, but if you're only interested in AUM information it requires a bit of wading through. Frankly I'm glad that this board sticks pretty much to SFMI.

About iflub- I haven't posted there for quite a while, and I notice that most of the good posters have either left or greatly reduced the frequency of their posts. It's interesting to see what's left- The posters presenting "the other side" have very little of substance to present. Without any substantive posts to mindlessly contradict, they're left flailing about trying to think of something to say.
