Bebe, Personally I want to thank you for your down to earth and sincere post to Frank. We have witnessed a lot of posts by appreciative shareholders to Frank, all echoing our sincere gratitude in his response to our concerns. We have also seen a lot of enthusiasm displayed (me included) over the past 24 hours. Granted it was truly a wonderful feeling to witness a sentiment change that could certainly be described as upbeat. Unfortunately many of us already got carried away with the jubilate atmosphere, understandably so, in fact I was probably the worst offender. Today I look back at the last 24 hours, and found myself torn between joy and disgust. More so at myself then anyone else. My concern is that over the better of part of the last month or so I stayed away from this board, while sitting back, observing it from the perspective of a new comer. As such and trying to read with an open mind it was a rather rude awakening. My conclusion; this tread had lost it's focus, there was little meaningful content, and the constant tug-o-war between the cheerleaders and the naysayers was like watching a TV screen filled with annoying static. Your sincere and humble post shook me back to reality, I don't know why but it triggered my mind to days gone by, of all the over exuberant posts of past. Made me realize how easy it is to get caught up in the spirited enthusiasm. Caught myself yesterday being swept over by joy. As for me, I plan to keep my posts to a minimum, focused, and my enthusiasm in check. Hopefully others will follow suit, realizing that the overly enthusiastic cheer-leading, off topic trivia, and other worthless banter is just as harmful as the malicious submarining by certain individuals. Didn't mean to write a book, but felt that I needed to state this. Sincerely hoping that we can get back on track, Raleigh
