Jason, Not that Henry and Mark need anybody to defend them, but let me address several points you made. 1. Henry has been investing for many years (I would put many in bold, but I can't remember how to do that). He knows how to handle himself with these characters that show up to discredit Naxos. I am not sure if you were here when HL showed up, but Henry was the one that handled the matter best, in my retrospective opinion. 2. Both Mark and Henry, clearly state their opinions and back them up with known facts. They don't hide the fact that these are their opinions, and on more occasions then I care to remember, have stated that the purchase of Naxos stock is extremely speculative, and not a good investment vehicle for everybody. You, on the other hand, came onto this thread several weeks ago and I quote (#10369) "urge you all to invest what you can (after me of course). This is no longer a speculation. News is out, management is being changed to lift us up, major labs with major numbers etc." Henry and Mark have NEVER told anyone to invest in Naxos, they have told people to do you DD, then making a decision for yourself. Besides, I would beg to differ with you and state that Naxos is and continues to be a very speculative stock. I would agree that much progress has been made, but not enough to remove the word speculation from Naxos. If this thread is "for suckers" as one of your friends state, it is not because of Henry and Mark. 3. As for the humor on the thread. I am as active a participant as any on the thread, although less so lately. (I am able to keep my New Years resolution to post less, unlike others ;-) ) Many posters have been on the thread for more than a year, and have developed friendships. There is a respect that many posters have developed for each other. This is based on the contributions made to the thread, as well as a person's personality that comes out across the thread. So, I guess what I am trying to say is that the thread has developed over time by many of the regular contributors developing respect for each other and accepting newcomers as they come in and show similar respect. There is a great deal of investment knowledge and experience that can be learned from many of these contributors. Sit back and read what they have to say, I have been able to learn much from them. Also, if the little bit of humor bothers you, then I apologize for that. But one bit of advice, Trust Henry, if he sees something that he jokes about, it is worth joking about. When it is time to get serious, Henry will be leading the pack Sorry for my rambling, but I wanted to get this off my chest. Respectfully, Ken Rosenfeld
