You might be more correct than you think by your comment cg....changing your comment to: maybe smack was on the money.....maybe that would explain some of the events of the last several months.... Seriously, can only speak for myself....but I imagine most of the others on this original GNET-turned-INSP board are learning as we go.... I would imagine that most of us are WAY past the point of stunned disbelief, denial, and yes, even anger, both at the officials involved, and ourselves for "believing" all the BS that was tossed out by the soon -to-be and then the-newly-merged company. Most of us have long ago either sold our original investment, or kept it in the IRA as a trophy of "learning-the-hard-way".... and use this board as a sounding board in which to continue learning. For instance, if any stock I hold again is going to be merged with another, I will certainly want questions answered in the very front end, and perhaps even sell the investment. If we, as investors, can't believe and trust the company, the officials of the company, the news releases of the company, the Board of Directors of the company, the attorney's on the BOD of the company in which we are invested, the brokerage houses who are doing the due diligence, etc..... then what is an investor to do? INSP will long live in many, many minds as a reminder of the way business shouldn't be done....Remember....Honesty pays! Of course, if anyone wants to know any of the "real, unvarnished history of INSP", there is that board in addition (well, maybe hyped and varnished some on that board...<tongue-in-cheek>)...
