tang, can I ask what commitment has to do with it? All of us have very little if any impact on how the company is managed or operates. Now I know that some folks believe that what is said on these threads can impact stock prices. Personally, I only believe that can be the case when there is late-breaking news or perhaps rumors that these threads can disseminate. I do know of a couple companies that read their SI threads. But in those cases, the best way SI posters could influence the company would be to provide constructive and objective feedback, rather than automatic cheerleading. I hope no one takes offense by the last sentence, because I rarely if ever flame. But these are viewpoints I've held for quite some time, so this seems as good a time as any to air them.
