Many posts with little value. I hope the below will be adopted soon. Excuse my sarcasim, but I've lost quite a bit of money on this one. I wasn't experienced enough to dump in time and have been looking for any reason to be optomistic. I've seen no news or information of substance in some time now. Other companies seem to be quite a bit more forthcoming in presenting the status of their operations. This stock has been a case of MM manipulation (Global). Judging by the content of the posts on this tread the manipulation continues. Someone, please show me that I'm wrong. Can anyone find a way to reach MSU for some solid info? Message 4297949 Brad and Jeff, would you please let us know your thoughts regarding the ability to access more than one post at a time? Peter, It's a tough issue. Our philosophy is that we would rather spend time on encouraging each of the posts more relevant/substantial than devising filtering/scanning techniques to compensate for the problem. I strongly believe that a side-effect of creating a "bulk" reading experience is that contributors will be less fearful/mindful of annoying others with one-line comments or off-topic discussion ("why don't you just skip over it" will be the response to a complaint). To this end, one idea we've put on the whiteboard is to -- when someone attempts to post a message with less than 80 characters -- prompt the person with an intermediate pages asking if it might be more appropriate to send it as a private message. The private message will automatically include a link to the message being responded to. Some other possible pieces (at the risk of setting off a flurry of debate!) are 1) make it universally easier to send a private message in direct response to a public message 2) allow the poster to append a short response (e.g. less than 80 characters) to a message, rather than creating an entirely new post. An example of this would be "when are earnings?" Someone simply appends "April 15th". The original author could also use the append technique to later post a correction/clarification. 3) allow the author to designate his/her message as "off-topic". Allow the reader to select an option to ignore these off-topic posts. 4) create a special class of forums (perhaps moderated by members) that explicitly state that no off-topic discussion or "thank you" one-liners will be permitted.
