Mark,

My choice is to voice an objective opinion based upon facts.

My opinion has nothing to do with forgiveness, nor should forgiveness be a trait of an investor. I am a very compassionate person, and a big believer in forgiveness. If one were asking strictly for forgiveness for past mistakes, business or otherwise, I would have no hesitation. However, if you are suggesting that I forgive management in order to somehow make additional investments legitimate in some way, I would take great exception.

If my conclusions are based upon incorrect information, or if I have made mistakes in my posts, I will be the first to apologize. However, if you wish to criticize me for posting a legitimate position based upon my own experiences, it only suggests that your experiences over the last seven or eight years have been something different than many other longs.

As long as there is a need for balance, I am committed to posting my opinions. If you wish to view that as some negative agenda of mine, that is your prerogative; but, I think you know that is not the case.

Jeff
