Not that it really matters, but if you intend to "never sell" your own shares, then shouldn't your public sentiment as you freely express on Yahoo, be switched to "hold." I mean if you have the option to sell, but elect not to, then holding would seem to be what you are doing with respect to your position, however tiny it may be.

>>I'm not shorting astn<< Mary, I appreciate your honest response. I suppose my next question is, why not short ASTN? If delisting is a fait accompli and the company is just half as wretched as your posts advocate and, of course, you have the courage of your convictions then it seems to me that it would be a incredibly self-satisfying experience for you to earn money off a company that you believe is headed into the dustbin of history anyway. If I stood in your shoes I might think this was a no-brainer. Regards, Edscharp
