Well done! Great post and, IMO, absolutely on target.

Most educated people -- and I don't mean academia -- have the common sense to see the facts and want to read the specualtion as well. Specualtion is usually pointed out as such on this board.

If EDIG were a new car, wouldn't educated people try to find out all the features and understand their related benefits? The same is true to find out if there are negatives -- every good car review will point out something that could be better. To me, that simply adds credibility. I wouldn't want to read only positives or only negatives if I'm throwing down tens of thousands of hard earned dollars.

This board / forum offers the reader both and the banter is mostly civil. That is the key difference, IMO. It is no wonder Agoracom is seeing success. IMO, they earned it.

While painful, LL is very right about asking the "P" company investors about high expectations. One of the long term posters had tried very hard to post limits on the specualtion leading up to the release of the now infamous Q report. He turned out to be very right and the vast majority, myself included, were quite wrong about the "P" company's pps post Q report. The"P" pps is still bleeding, along with my wallet...it did leave a large mark and hole for the time being.

I beleive the yeng and yang are necessary and important to have a credible discussion. Both civil sides have their place here.
