Ed, I have just read your original post, and Downsouth's answer to you.
First off, your your post was not the type I was referring to as from someone who we don't want here. Those type are usually argumentive, and come at us with a "TA" approach. Since we are use fundamentals here, and avoid being argumentive, we find that these type of people don't belong here.
Downsouth"s answer was to the point and polite, IMO. He listed three points to look for in a Gorilla, and told you that he did not feel the company fit the points.
You stated in your first post that you had not read "The Gorilla Game". If you had directed that first post to me, I would have probably included a phrase telling you to "RTFM" before submitting companies.
We don't try to "teach the book" on this thread. We answer questions about points in the book from people who have read it, and debate its point of view with each other.
None of us follow it's philosophy totally, it is not a Bible to us. In fact, we catch a lot of flak from people who accuse us of not being "true believers".
Those people, who wear "white robes", are among the type we can do without, as a matter of fact.
I am sorry if you felt you were give short shrift by Downsouth. I can tell you from experience here that I have seen much curter answers to a question of your type, and that actually, Downsouth's answer was "right on" IMO.
Why don't you read the book, and come back with questions and points after you have read it. I am not trying to be snotty about it, it just saves us both time if you take that approach.
