CLICK PAST THIS POST

Vlad, in a few days, this board will have 20,000 posts since September of 1997. I would like new-comers to know that many of the old-timers here are upside-down in this stock. Many have averaged themselves within striking distance. The mood here is rarely happy face, but rarely are things ugly. More than a few folks are simply trying to learn, work through, and survive the ownership of Vivus: considered in some circles to be THE stock from hell. Considered in other circles to be the "OH gee, a $2 stock with good news, I made a $1.50 in one day see you later stock." ETC, ETC. Interesting dynamics, huh?

I'm not the most educated person here by any means, but I've concluded that the content and therefore the morality of threads is self-regulating; no single influence can set the pace. I don't see where a thread has a spouse, CEO, boss, cops, priests, speed limits, or closing time. (yet) The Clit Cream thing and the out-rage and the hoopla will resolve and fade into history. I don't worry about stuff like this nor do I have any time to spend with it.

I do exercise this level of control, I simply click-past people and subjects that I feel won't contribute to my relationship with this thread and with Vivus. The list is highly flexible, it's a mental health/time management thing.

Take care everyone,
Frostman
