>>This last year hasn't been fun for any of the past and present RACE longs yet the experience has certainly improved our researching resources and instilled far more skepticism towards anything that "sounds" reliable or "came from a reputable source". While it's painfully obvious that some of the things we've all been expecting didn't start materializing in the timeframes we hoped for I will continue to stand behind my views of the technology and where I believe it's headed.<< "came from a reputable source" and "sounds" has all the earmarks of gold mining hypesterism. that's why it's better to go with company news releases. unfortunately race doesn't do well in the news release area. ""I've sat almost totally invested in this stock since the beginning of the thread and you're right - someone with less than honorable intentions would have bailed and left long ago just like one of our very vocal "it's only a modem" posters seems to have left us immediately after the last dip. Think about it."" yup, most would have used a stop loss and bailed long ago. you've hung in thru thick and thin. that's indisputable. ""I rarely if ever added little cute disclaimers on my posts such as FWIW or "your mileage may vary" mainly because I felt my posting enthusiasm was darn well obvious enough and by God son, you certainly can't say I was the only highly optimistic poster with a daily presence on the thread."" sure of course and that's what led to the cheerleading and pom pom comments,right?. it's sad to see race go from pom poms at one annual general and then to black arm bands the next. ""See just how poorly timed some of my thoughts have been? I'm sure I had many in the RACE thread prior to this but I had this DIMD post bookmarked for some reason: Message 330473 Please note the date and the subject, then check this out, especially the reasons: Message 3299265 I've also made several from the early days about the RBOCs being tight with their copper but I'm not going to bother searching them out."" huh?!? why dimd? posts about race are much,much,much(well you get the idea" more appropriate!i'd read it if it were relevant to race... ""It's always been very simple for many - they're waiting to see a stream of news before buying. I guess I'll never learn -"" you live--you learn, you bleed--you learn ""I wrote some damn big checks to both of my brokers today for the fun I had on Wednesday."" that ain't what i call fun unless you're marquis de sade!!! "" If this thing fails you can rest assured I'll go down with it but by now you should know darn well I'll be posting until the very end."" as chi pan said. give it up guys. there's lots of trains leaving the nasdaq station e'vry day. if race was half as competent as you marshall it'd be sittin much prettier. hells bells man,unless you're tied contractually for promotional services to race, give yourself a break and dump this pig. btw, the movie "wag the dog" is a movie about spin doctoring. they're not as good as you in the contact and deflect technique but then again who is <ggg>. timely movie .
