"Allow me to paraphrase your sentence to show how ludicrous it is:" "...it appears that you are losing sight of the forest. Take off the green cloak, put down the bow & arrow and step away from the trees for a day or two." Right off the bat, I'm wrong, making ludicrous statements, and incapable of separating the forest from the trees. Now I'm getting invitations to "be civil"?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Your view:"News flash: People are lazy. They like their information pre-packaged & easy to consume, hence my remark about the minutae of a company's products (and the lack of investor interest in said minutae)." You mean they like their information spoon-fed, like this?stockhouse.ca stockhouse.ca stockhouse.ca stockhouse.ca Because that is precisely what the posters to whom I was referring have given them. You say that is what people want. I say no: that is what they have been given - and many of them ignore it. It goes beyond laziness - to the point of willful avoidance. When they post, the authority for their comments is the sanctity of ignorant opinion.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I find your comments interesting: wildly illogical, patronizing, insulting, and intellectually dishonest. Whatever peculiarity motivates this behaviour can continue without my presenc: don't let my absence stop you. I see no point in continuing this exercise. Please allow me to give you the last word; say whatever insulting and vacuous claptrap comes into your mind - and I will give it all the attention it deserves, without response. The floor is yours. Enjoy. Jim
