Nice opening this morning *S*.......after the last week or so it's nice to see a couple of strong days! I have a few thoughts/comments since the board is quiet.......I agree we are very, very close to news, and I have to apologize for my pick of Apr 30 which I thought off the top of my head was a friday......

Anyone notice that the new faces and trolls who were "venting" fade fast from view when things start to get positive? lol..........I hope they're paid well fo the bashing they do. Personally, I like a balanced discussion with questions which are answered with facts. I don't even mind opinions when they are tempered, repectful, and are based on some type of fact. Comments like "Lori isn't doing her job" are completely unfounded. Why would our leaders choose to stay and debate every individual with this type of ridiculous viewpoint? IMO we were only a few days away from the really intellectual questions like "why isn't Lori tweeting her minute by minute decisions and activities?" When discussions degenerate to the point of a grade school, sandbox, temper tantrum, the only thing for the leaders to do is take a breath and walk away. My dad told me once, "don't try to wrestle a pig in the mud because the pig enjoys it." The leaders have simply choosen not to "wrestle in the mud" IMO.

I do not fault the leaders of this board for taking a step back to let some new info develop. Unfortunately they were left to defend SLI (which they can't possibly do!) and the decisions of management, and tollerate the trolls. Life is to short for that, especially when you look at what they have provided us.........it's much more than info...........it's their time. Why would they spend more of their valuble time dealing with the grumpy types here? Along with several others here, I truely appreciate their efforts.
