Hi, Bill,
I am sorry, but I can't bite my tongue hard enough. I do not mean to diminish your enthusiasm or contributions, but please understand that there were some 11,000 messages on this thread alone before you arrived. Many, many people have contributed much effort and many insights over the life of this thread, resulting in a cumulative understanding of the company that is probably as deep as any ever achieved by a set of outsiders. The thread illustrates the internet at its best. What you have seen recently is nothing more than the usual functioning of the thread. Despite the tedium it would entail, you should go back to, say, December, and follow the thread to the present to get a real feel for it. If there are to be congratulations offered, they should be offered for more than 6 days of posts.
Regards, lws |
