Thanks for taking the time to type all that Dr. Mike.
That was no small undertaking, and we all greatly appreciate it. The fact that you shared items both encouraging and not not only disputes accusations that those who are "pro OE", are censoring SI and the club; it also addresses the "loophole" category some are trying to create for themselves. If you are concerned about certain aspects of the company, you either limit or reduce your position. But if you are finding endless problems with the company, particularly the management and particularly over a long period of time, YOU SELL YOUR WHOLE POSITION! There's no way I'd be harboring massive concerns about a company, year after year, and own any of it, much less waste my time posting on boards about it. Posting on boards only has two legitimate purposes: information and influence. Most of the supporters of OE spend most of their time exchanging information about the progress of the company - links or cut and paste stories, personal discussions with company employees such as yours, etc. But most of the critical posts are not evidence of company failures, instead opinions criticizing management. Those posts are about influencing others, and in a negative way. Again, motive is the issue. I don't recall seeing links to stories touting the superiority of Ficht over OptiMax, nor HPDFI over OCP, etc. It's not like we're seeing hundreds of thousands of HPDFI cars driving around everywhere and no OCP cars. THAT would demonstrate failure by OE. Until OE's competitors have succeeded, OE hasn't failed. |
