Yes, you and Geoff (welcome back) have a point.

On the other hand, some poster's aversion to any mention of the "P" on this thread seems overstated. We should keep in mind that the discussion of politics on this board began when LOR's CEO was accused of gaining a competitive advantage by (sorry I have to mention this) members of the U.S. House of Representatives (yes, political people) with a subsequent Justice Department Investigation, warranted or not (I happen to think, not). It's not like everyone just started throwing out opinions in a vacuum to pollute this board with their own political ideologies.

I do appreciate the substantial contributions of those who have some technical knowledge on this thread, many if not most are very helpful and valuable and I've learned a lot. I've also found a few of the people who have good technical expertise to be a bit naive about other things, like the importance of government affairs and corporate communications to a company and its various stakeholders. We all have our areas of expertise. Thus, lock-step pontificating against anyone daring to venture an opinion on whether political variables may affect Loral's stock demonstrates tunnel vision, IMHO. Anyone who thinks otherwise is as naive as someone who thinks LEO stands for "Leveraged Eggs (in) Orbit."

I think we fellow LOR loyalists need to make a distinction between posts which touch on ramifications of the political fallout on LOR's stock and those who would like to turn this into a new version of the "Did Slick Boink Monica" thread.

Nuff said. I need a glass of New Zealand Sav Blanc to calm these frayed nerves. Pardon the rant. I had a long day.
