Peter,

I just want to congratulate you on the recent success of SEPR (the REAL subject of this thread). It has had its own bumps in the road and, throughout, you have had much empathy from members of other cults. <g>

David

OT Until sepr's downfall in 02 it had a cult following. Anyone who held at $140 (I did) didn't sell (I didn't) and feels stupid about it still to this day (I do) is a reformed sepr cult member. I guess I should have said "dedicated" shareholders. Maybe I wouldn't have received such a visceral reaction. mogn goes to >$50 LT s/h should be thrilled. I'll leave it at that.

OK, here's the history of MOGN at SI:

The thread was a classy place where a few biofreaks were sincerely discussing progress at the company.

Some newbies showed up. there was an argument. everyone was sort of correct.

SI sorts -- in general -- lined up behind irofulven, and there was occasionally-heated-but-always constructive discussion of the molecule. The thread is a repository of key business developments and data, not hype or noise.

One individual took posts at SI a bit too seriously, and responded at lightning speed to any objective discussion. I'm certain that's what rkrw remembers.

Miljenko's highly critical and excellent discussion re. irofulven has never reflected anything apart from his respect for the project and the UCSD scientists behind the work. Any skepticism at SI was always balanced with respect.

Ward and Peter (and probably others) were all over the transition in business plan, while I was focused on a Merck product that was not even remotely relevant, from a "competition" stand. They pointed to my error, and it was a simple example of the sort of collaboration that occurs here at SI all of the time. Moreover, it meant a few extra bucks.

There have clearly been three SI champions of the stock, David, Ward and Bags. Many others have contributed. It's a GREAT story, so everyone just shut up.

:-)
