"I missed those thorough analyses, but I guess it's partly that we pretty much know the core business details and partly that WinStar's volatility has enough people burned out that our more substantive contributors don't feel to contribute that often anymore."

Yepp.
I don't think I'd call it burn out, it's just that we've been here/ done that so many times now (what is this, our fourth major sell off for seemingly no reason), that everything that can be said has been said. No use whining about it, we know it defies all logic. I think most of us just sit and shake our head. (Besides, I can't type fast enough one handed :-))

"Then a once a week "Go WinStar" is all the time we'll need spend."
When that happens, I think most of us deep down will miss "the good ole days" :-) It's been gut wrenching at times, but it's been fun.

It is satisfying seeing everything coming together. It was only a few years ago that all of our talk here about hundreds of thousands of customers and billions in revenues were just pie in the sky dreams, but it's becoming reality right before our eyes. I think WinStar (particularly Bill and Nate) deserves a lot more credit than what they receive for pulling this off. I'm sure it wasn't easy, but they haven't missed a step.
