I would have to agree with DKR I called ms. Truax yesterday and got an almost verbatim response, I'm sure she is sitting their with a little cheat sheet, and although she will never win miss congeniality, I believe she is on a very short leash as to what she can and can't say. It doesn't seem to me that their is going to be too much information coming out of FRB positive or negative, I think they were hired to keep us from bothering VLNC management and/or employees, so it comes down to reading the tea leaves ourselves or trusting the board and management to do what is in our best interest to maximize shareholder value.duckster

You'll notice that my insult WAS on YAHOO and was prompted by his admitted effort to drive the stock down. He was purporting to have the best information available at this time and that the company is months away from any contract. He needed to "have his feet held to the fire" for such bold claims. A word for word questioning of his claims seemed appropriate. The use of an insult can be useful to evoke a more detailed response in self defense - although it wasn't calculated to try to do that. Objectivity IS at stake and for HuskerToo to make such seemingly timely and factual statements of such negative import requires that he be taken to task. I think your take and my take on HuskToo's post would be fully understandable if we laid your brokerage account statement and my brokerage account statement side by side on the table. Also, the "disinformation" post is common to YAHOO, and HuskerToo's post only occurred on that forum. The post was previously referred to by an SI member as something of material concern.
