Apology accepted, Randy, along with my own apologies for going so ballistic, as is my tendency in certain situations. Personally, I wouldn't have a problem with that kind of criticism of the company. It is, after all, excellent fodder for such discussion. I think the only reason this thread hasn't seen such activity is that the hype really is kept to a minimum, so there's not an awful lot that needs to be energetically countered. When the company's most vocal long is expressing frustration, and stating the reasons why, it's not exactly a prime target. Hell, if I've had any impact on the stock price (likely -- I still doubt much ownership outside of this thread), I'm sure it's been in both directions. At least, I do put a lot of effort into carefully wording my posts so as to not come across as "I've been there and you need to BUY, BUY, BUY!" If I may digress for a moment (this will include self-criticism), let me say this reminds me of FTEL a little over a year ago. I basically was going ballistic about their financials being delayed. I was in at $1.47 and was getting extremely impatient. I earned the moniker "Audit Bob" for a while in there, and was slammed (somewhat deservedly) relentlessly. The delay (and emotions) were exactly like we're seeing here. I was beside myself with anxiety over when they'd come out. Finally, Raleigh Baughman <sp?> emailed me to please just sit tight for a few more days. I'm glad I did. Yanked a $2.00 limit order that would've filled the day before they actually came out. I still refer to that email as the biggest favor anyone has ever done for me in investing. Anyway, that's the main reason for my deciding to turn my back on this one for a little while, though it appears I didn't do what I told myself to do. Like many here, I get very emotional when dealing with things like this, and it carries into my personal life. Been quite bummed for a long time right now. I've found it's best to just leave it alone. I've learned that things like financials, which require cooperative efforts inside and outside of the company, just plain have a way of dragging on. And I'm sure we're not this auditor's top priority. Here's hoping we see them soon, but I'm making a concerted effort to not worry too much about it. And it is an effort.
