What are your posts hoping to accomplish? I'm sincerely interested. Are you exchanging conversation with one other person? That would be best handled by email. Are you actually attempting to influence the decisions management makes? That's as silly as trying to vote them out of office when individual investors don't own nearly enough shares. Mathematically it wasn't going to happen. Which is why I never signed onto that effort with my shares even though I supported the effort to get out of the convertible. The posts are repetitive. In my opinion, the purpose of your posts is to torment OE management for failing to provide you with the rewards you expected the stock to provide. And I understand that frustration. We're all frustrated it's taken this long. And I appreciate it's not just that the stock hasn't gone up, it's the lost opportunity - what the money could have been invested in during years of a booming market. Except you're not tormenting OE management. They could care less what a handful of people owning relatively few shares think, be it those that are happy with them or those that are not. And criticizing OE management moves is like criticizing the CIA. Everyone loves to do it but they really have no business commenting. You can't really judge the quality of their decisions because you have only a fraction of the information they based their decisions on. With the CIA we'll never know. With OE we won't know for at least several years - until DFI is common and we can assess market share. Give some thought as to why you're posting what you're posting. Maybe I've gotten part of it right, maybe it's more complicated than that. I went thru a period of great frustration too. But I had to decide what I wanted to do. Stay on and see it out, or move elsewhere. I finally decided that I was convinced the technology was superior and would prevail sufficiently to be very profitable, and that I would have to trust OE management the way I must trust the CIA. I also decided to stop posting lengthy opinions, as I realized that people who didn't know me wouldn't be influenced by them, and that I was wasting time better spent with my friends and family. Now I just try to address the occasional technical issues and share links. And I know some of the links are way out there. That's why I post a brief description of each one. To keep from wasting people's time. People have all different levels of interest, I let them make the choice. I have no problem with critical posts. As long as they don't present the same argument about the same issue, over and over and over. But even then you have to consider what you're accomplishing relative to the value of your time.
