Excuse me for butting in- but I would like to hear what you have to say. It was stated earlier today that you had some interesting news- was this true or not? If you do have information would you please share it.

I am an owner of CS and a long time lurker on this thread. I have appreciated your past inputs and most recent efforts at the shareholder meetings I see by your profile that you are an 'old' member of SI and have posted meaningful posts on other subjects (some are also other positions of mine). Unfortunately there is a great amount of BS and posturing on these boards. SI is far from perfect and even further from its early days, yet I still think its one of the best sites on the web. I understand how you feel but would still urge that you reconsider your departure. We need you to counterbalance the garbage. jerry

Harold, I see your frustration, especially after we went to the CS meeting, and have actual people to verify our exsistance. However there are some good people here and they have a right to know and verify the info.

Harold, My intent was not to flame the captain or yourself by initiating the post which elicited this reply. You have made some valuable contributions to the thread and I along with many others have recognized you and the Captain for these contributions. However, when someone states something to the effect of "If you think its a disappointment now, wait till you hear what Harold S. has to say. I just sold 60% of my position" and leaves it at that my gut reaction is that games are being played. If I called Captain Kirk's or your credibility into question in error I do apologize, however, skepticism is a necessary component of survival when navigating investment advise on the web. If you have some pertinent information to share regarding an as yet unforseen downside with CS I'm sure all would appreciate what you have to say. Larry

your a very strange person. If I were to exercise my psychology degree, I would say you are really on the insecure side of life. Don't get so worked up about yourself, none of us take you that serious.......On another thought, I have my major doubts about the future of this company and got into on a daytrade went bad( a HUGE mistake on its own) But the Cptn. and Harold have been very strong supporters of this company for a number of months and have been dead wrong to date. If they truly have bailed that can't be seen as anything negative and might even be a nice contrarian indicator. In the world of high finance....the meek will not inherit the earth.
