that is a problem for you... not all done in the name of struggling (ie, fighting) to keep sentiment up, and promote the positives for a business is "hyping". It's a necessary effort to promote survival. That's where the long term holders are right now.... fighting, struggling to keep up interest, ours and whoever else might look at what's been accomplished by ATG. You struggle (fight) just as hard to destroy any positive sentiment that might be possible for what this company is trying to achieve. You "hype" the bad stuff. This is a company with real business goals, and fairly competent people heading up the effort. Things get done and reported, some good and some bad. They are not finished yet, and the market has not rendered an opinion on the future. Share prices are in the sewer for many other issues as well at this time. There's nothing particularly personal about this "fight" or struggle, as far as I'm concerned. But, a little commonsense applied to the situation, makes a body wonder what your motives are? You won't address that directly, so we are left to assume you have taken up your cause on a personal basis. That has gotten you into some needless problems. If the co fails, loses the "fight" to survive, we shareholders will go down to defeat and lose all. If the co succeeds, we will be enormous winners in this speculative market play. Many of us just cannot understand what you have to gain, one way or the other by continuing? The best guess I suppose, is that you desire the attention and have made this "struggle" to win over converts..... personal. That's a mistake, in my estimation, but I could be wrong. I don't have any idea why people with next to no stake in a company's prospects spend so much time talking about it on the internet. I've seen it a good bit over the years. Your presence is not all bad..... the amusement of it all makes the wait a tad more interesting...... I've fought with myself over the boredom of it all many times during these waiting periods in past spec plays.... almost alone, before receiving the winning call by the market.
