Jerry, If you wish to encourage a truly open dialogue on this thread, and I believe you do, I would begin by considering an apology for calling many of us "idiots". And rest assured, I am not an "old loser lady" but even so, I take great offense to the degrading term. I may violently protest AR's posts due to their repititious nature and probable motivation, but I do not believe I have ever questioned his intelligence or insulted him with namecalling. Nor do I question your intelligence or call you ugly names. Also, as a matter of etiquette, perhaps you are not aware that all caps in a post equates to "yelling". I answered your questions civilly, in the same spirit as you asked them. Reciprocation is important to open dialogue. I hope you followed my earlier suggestion and reviewed an entire history of posts. If you did and you still feel as if AR is a major asset to this thread...to YOUR investment...then so be it. But do not underestimate the influence of this forum and the possible impact on stock valuation. I'm not afraid and I'm not even sure where you got that notion. What I DON'T need is to hear the same story again and again ad infinitum about inept management, replacing management, bad management decisions, management deception, etc. I get the point already!!! And my counterpoint is, if anyone feels so strongly that mgmt needs to be replaced, why not handle it the correct way via shareholder proposal? For starters, one needs to be a shareholder to do that. Finally, Jerry, if I were so unhappy as others and for whatever reason were not inclined to take the proper protocol toward correcting the problem, then shame on me. But I wouldn't stand on a grandstand complaining for the crowd. I would simply sell my stock, cut my losses and move on. Thanks for the input, but stop yellin' at me! :>) Hardrocker
