I already know what they are made of. They can talk the talk, but they can't walk the walk.

Talk is cheap. Their type likes to talk, but they lack the mental, emotional, or spiritual strength to risk money because of belief in their convictions. I would much rather do my research, make conclusions, and risk my money -- even if I lose, than post nonsense or take potshots and have nothing to lose.

Furthermore, there is a special category of human beings who will go into a thread and try to demoralize investors by posting nothing of substance, just gloominess such as "this is a scam," or "you are heading south," and take satisfaction in the feeling that they have imparted negativity to others.

I suppose this is the world of investment, in which our true nature is exposed for what it is. I'm glad I can sleep at night.

On a positive note, this note from Digitcom's newsletter deserves mention:
" Digitcom's NT-flavored "IntraVoice CO(TM)" developed by our own David Wong has a long (in Internet years) association with Natural MicroSystems' development environment."

Mark C found one David Wong (may not be the same guy) who was at PMC-Sierra Inc. and worked on the chips that later became the heart of Packet Engines' Gbit network-interface cards.

I wonder if anyone can confirm if this is the same Wong?
