Darkgreen, I have also attacked the thread in the past for lacking in balance. So I agree with the point you are trying to make - that the more speculative, hyperbullish thread members are clogging up the system of open discussion of this company's prospects. However, I took a look at a few hundred of the more recent posts (3500-3900), and here is what I found: # posts % posts Darkgreen 81 20% John Curtis 54 14% Paul Klemencic 31 8% FMK 27 7% hcirteg 20 5% Pallisard 16 4% Mark Johnson 13 3% mooter775 13 3% Gordon Quickstad 12 3% Tickertype 12 3% Herbert Blair 9 2% DKR 8 2% Tmoore 8 2% I N Vester 7 2% lws 7 2% (32 others) 77 20% In my opinion, your posts and the responses to them are the main reason to stay away from this thread. I applaud your efforts to bring a much-needed contrarian view. Personally, I skim or skip most posts, due to the generally uninformative content. However, it is the most bullish thread members who are generally the best informed about the company, and who call the company often for updates. Your style has deteriorated into batting the bees nest. Rather than perpetually mocking the less intelligent posts, how about leading by example. It is clear that the hardcore, longtime VLNC bulls won't change their minds regardless of what you say. One (bullish!) poster has claimed to have lost 1.5x the value of his house on this stock - a far more scary warning than anything you have issued so far. You seem like an intelligent and analytical person - what do you say we stick to analyzing the company rather than the shareholders? If you are trying to get away from the "unreasonable" element, you have already started another VLNC thread that so far has no traffic - maybe we non-hyperbulls can go over there and start our own, more balanced conversation.
