RM: Opposing views are what make the thread interesting to watch. Surely you don't mean to imply that positive viewpoints should be excluded? I have recently undergone a major change in my attitude towards the company and its prospects. Eventually, the market will decide which point of view is more correct. There's often much truth on both sides of the equation (excepting those people with an obvious agenda). With few exceptions I find that most of the views expressed on the thread are sincerely held. Strongly held opinions when expressed tend to elicit strong responses. I can accept views contrary to my own and try to learn from them. Can you? JLA

NEXT or NEXT ?? Actually, I have to say that I now can scan the thread and only have to read the name to know the content, or at least the intent of the content. One problem is that it seems that negative posters have a murkier agenda at times. The longs are "rah rah" and blind sometimes, but at least their intentions are clear. It seems rare that a negative post is educational or broadening instead of someone just wanting to get in a zinger. Consequently, we shots get fired back and forth with no real discussion occuring. There is also a mob mentality that takes over sometimes, to which I plead guilty when a really dumb negative post comes. It seems discourse not lectures would be the best course to pursue. Ah, well. We can only hope.
