Hi Nancy,

I agree with your pros and cons.

Why do you think there is so much animosity voiced on the REFR boards anyway? A lot of it is likely just people trying to talk their positions up in value. But I think some people (maybe even Gary?) sincerely believe that the company is a scam and that they are performing a public service by convincing people not to invest, just as you sincerely believe that REFR is "a sure thing" and that you are performing a public service by convincing people to invest.

In my opinion the company has done a poor job of managing expectations on occasion, and the problem is only exacerbated when people with loose ties to the company set investor expectations unrealistically high (your yahoo post #1834 might be a good example of this sort of thing).

So perhaps you are not entirely without blame for the fact that the REFR message boards have deteriorated into a virtual cesspool of disinformation ? Just a thought.

Best Regards,
Area51
