GG...Re:WAVX; HAPPY SLOGIVERSARY TO ALL !!!!

Today is an important day in the annals of Wave fact and folklore. It is the one year anniversary of the prophetic ... and now proven accurate ... comment of George Gilder in the following historic exchange:

My comment is that this is going to be a long slog and as a member of the board I am prohibited from commenting on details.
********************************************************

At the time of the comment it seemed outlandishly and impossibly conservative.

Looking back from today it has been proven to be 100% accurate.

The connotation of a "slog" implies slow, but steady forward progress ... the type that is hard to measure on a short term, minute-to-minute or day-to-day basis, but which if observed over time, ought to show significant progress. It certainly has been both.

Those who have endured and stayed the course or even just observed for the "Year of the Slog" must admit that although progress all during the year appeared to be slow, we are certainly well beyond where we were on the date of George's prophetic pronouncement.

Those who listened were given the basis to find the strength to survive and to help each other to do so.

The slog is still on, but the goal is certainly closer, better defined and well within sight.

Thank you George.

Thank you Catherine.
