Rick, what's getting old is the same old cryptic writing, no evidence, no specifics, mystery people, with mystery plans, and the mystery people's plans  being thwarted. Now this time you write that they don't know who YOU ARE, as if you are somehow intimidating or threatening to them. (whoever they are).

i wasn't seeking a defence, just specifics to the cryptic language. 

You know, I'll bet dollars to donuts that as much or more than anyone else, Lori wishes Steve's share price calculation was in the ballpark, she'd have a few hundred million in the bank.
