SAG, I did break my own rule in a moment of weakness. Mea maxima culpa. Anyway, the pets are chewing on the furniture again and pooping in the corner. Bad pets, bad! It would be one thing to have legitimate and responsible challenges to company policy. Because there is no substance to and no issue for a complaint (not to mention zero support for an action) the petting zoo poopers (or windmills on meds, if you prefer) are harmless enough at this point. However they may become dangerous to themselves. They ought be careful what they allege, because these days companies are fighting back with slander suits. I am not a lawyer, but IMHO there is probably already sufficient evidence in the SI archives to fuel a cease-and-desist order, and possibly enough for a civil action for something stronger. regards

sag, those guys are angry, very angry! They were promised things, they bought the promise, and now management clams up on them. I think it's either a very immature response, or a real attempt to put enough pressure on management to start talking. I have never had problems with a company management telling me what they believe, but everyone has to admit Global clearly stretched the truth many times. I have seen lots of company communications from many companies and Global's comes very close to fraud IMO. I love enthusiasm, but not someone purposely blowing smoke up my ass. If Global thinks that claming up is the correct thing at this time, they are more than just incompetent, they're immoral if not simply criminal. Shareholders own this company, they deserve answers. I don't mind problems when I can understand them, I suspect others may feel the same way. There does now seem to be some credible story coming from Global through the back door. It's time for management to acknowledge those reports, or get some new management IMO. I agree that shareholders bitching to the SEC at this time with current evidence could be cutting their own throat because it wouldn't help any longs. In any event, I'm tired of the nonsense going on this thread and think that Doug and Thor should just do it and maybe they will shut up?
