I see your point. IF they KNEW that what they said was to be posted on the thread for all to see, then they would only (IMHO) tell you what they could legally. I, for the most part, believe your post. Although not entirely verified. Of course, I wouldn't want to verify every thing that I was told. When a pattern becomes apparent, then you figure out what to expect from that point and need only verify certain things to, "keep everything in check" so to speak. IMHO Call it frustration or whatever, I for one got to the end of my rope with what I heard. It will take quite a bit of evidence for me to be convinced CSMA is headed in the right direction and on solid footings. You and others have the right to believe what you will from the facts you can gather. Everyone has that right, and the right to form whatever opinions they have from info they see and hear. The 17,000 sq. ft. house thing was, as I found out on Monday, a bit overstated to say the least. However, I was keeping out of it to see what others would find out for themselves. Mike M. pointed out in times past that I was not "all knowing" on all CSMA issues. He was quite correct. But it is also true that HE does not know all about the CSMA issues either! That can be confirmed. (as if it needed to be, a small matter, which I hope is overlooked) MOST CSMA investors do not know what the exact deals CSMA has made with companies or individuals. Just like they don't know with nearly all other large or small public companies. It is usually a belief that the company will take whatever precautions necessary to insure the company is "covered" should a problem arise. Investors trust management to look out for the companies best interests. Is this agreed? However, the best interests of the company is not always the best interests of investors. This should be agreed also. There is numerous examples. PKGP, CVIA & FAMH come to mind quickly. The only reason I'm pointing this out is that no matter what is being said, things seem to happen that catch even careful investors off guard. FAMH even had (it is believed anyway) their leaders on internet (SI included) making statements that have since been retracted by the new FAMH management. So, these things happen. And it is MHO that we as investors have the right to question management or their "mouth pieces" as to questions we have. We should expect answers! It is not our responsibility to ask only the questions that they are at liberty to discuss. It is MY opinion that they should answer the questions they can and tell us when they cannot because of whatever reasons, legal or other wise. Am I supposed to know what they cannot talk about? If so, forgivvvveeeeeee Me!!! More to come. <g> KZAP
