Great post, HC!
As you know, I am also well acquainted with Fred, having spent many hours talking with him via the electric telephone (now there's a good invention!) and I concur with your conclusions even though I haven't seen his famous ringbinder. I'm going to give him a bottle of whatever he likes best when we finally start hearing the KA-CHING sound, for helping me keep the faith through the darkest hours over the past few years!
I really wish Larry would get off this endless business of throwing darts at Fred. It appears to have all the makings of some personal vendetta by now, and it's damn tiring to put up with. Yes, I know, you say you have to protect us all from what you consider to be hype, etc, but hey, we've been immunized by now. Overkill doesn't accomplish anything, except annoy most of us. Consider it, please.
Finally, the post by Jaques was a real revelation, and some of it does correlate with information I've received before. But it does leave me totally confused as to when we will hear about major events, and when we can expect to see developments reflected in the stock price in a major way. I hope this will be the subject of much discussion on the board in the coming days, so we can see what the various opinions are.
