WST >>>> Being Long means you believe in a company and don't trade every day or week in the stock. Being Long means getting drawn to the screen every day to see it up and down and up and down and up and down.
Being Long on GNET means that we really believe this is a great company. Russell and the team are creating a beautiful bunch of websites based on a great vision and superb execution.
WST we have scrolled through at least 100 messages from you on this board just to say 'Buy now' or 'Sell now'. So with all respect, you're not the guy to complain now.
Being Long and believe in GNET means that the money I have to spend, I spend on GNET. So in between the monthly paychecks, it's not to bad to have some fun. SI is great, but if you only go through your bookmarks and check your portfolios you get bored sometimes. There are some other threads on SI that have created the combination of content and community sense. In the end you almost feel to have friends out there.
The new SI will probably have more scroll, browsemaster and 'avoid' options so then we all will be happy.
I have been amazed to see the thread evolve. The Crystal Balls and option007 posts and the discussion around the complaint letter against you were really annoying. But it passed out (with some assistance of SI Bob, very important). I have been amazed by the reactiveness of GNET when they put the banner on the site. I was pissed off too, off-line thinking of a complaint post. But within 24 hours they adapted it in a very acceptable manner.
To have management of GNET posting itself. To have almost live coverage of the shareholders meeting. Open discussions about board membership. That creates an accelerated learning process. I have worked as consultant and manager in 5 countries for at least 50 companies so I have some comparison. This company is really very good in creating a new business and adaptive to its customers and shareholders.
I was the first compiler of the list, just one post. Then left it, but others took over and a lot of readers (I find lurkers a bad word) that never posted before started with quality posts themselves, then we had former complainer Fred Chuang with an excellent list.

If you want communities to thrive, you should be part of it and contribute to it in a way that is useful to others.
You might not have seen it, but we changed the Long list to the 100Hot list, to limit it and then we leave it for what it is.
Normally I'm rather serious myself, but I enjoyed the party feeling that came in after the 'Mary Meeker doubts' were crashed and GNET jumped 26 dollars in a single day.
Just my views
