I don't know RB personally but I've used his chili recipe so that makes me as much an expert as anyone else. (I usually refer to him as RB because I can never remember if the "i" or the "e" comes first in his name. <ggg> Oh, I'm sorry. I meant to say <666>.)
As far as I know, he is still out there, still posting and still growing his wealth. I believe he was tired and disgusted with the nonsense on this board and the constant abuse he was taking with a number of posters who were here only to bash the company, lower the price and gain by covering their shorted positions.
RB was smarter than any of us as he knew when it was time to quit. Unlike the rest of us, who hung on each day, looking for some sign of intelligence on this board. It's out there - you just won't find it here anymore thanks to the neanderthals and cretins who destroyed it.
Life is too short to use up all of your time and energy defending one's position. It is easier to ignore them than to try to change their minds. My mother always said "Don't ever argue with children, drunks or imbeciles - you can't win!" She was correct and I believe we have all three right here." You can associate the names with the descriptions any way you want.
I am here to enhance my own level of wealth. I could give a rat's ass what anyone else does with their investments. I'm not here to hold your hand and neither was RB, Vic, or anyone else for that matter. I say I like a company, you say you don't. I will buy it and you don't. I am not going to try to change your mind or convince you of something different. Don't like it? Then leave - simple as that! Like I said -"life is too short."
As far as I'm concerned; if RB put as much effort into researching FTEL, as he did with that Chili Recipe, than we have a clear winner on our hands!
Bye!
